‘Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue'

The Golden Girls will bring their lovable hijinks to the Wharton Center’s Cobb Great Hall Tuesday evening (March 5), but they may look a little different from the quartet fans remember. Based on the award-winning NBC sitcom that ran from 1985 to 1992, “Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue” stars an all-male cast in drag. The show was written by Robert Leleux, author of “The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy” and “The Living End,” and is directed by Eric Swanson, who was the co-founder and executive director of the Detroit Actor’s Theatre Co. before it disbanded in 2021.

“‘Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue’ brings Miami’s sassiest seniors to stages around the country for one more hurrah. We find Sophia out on bail after being busted by the DEA for running a drug ring for retirees. Blanche and Rose have founded ‘CreakN,’ a thriving sex app for seniors. And Dorothy is trying to hold it all together with help from a (much) younger sex-crazed lover,” the show’s website reads.
Tickets start at $40 and can be purchased at the Wharton Center Ticket Office, whartoncenter.com or by calling (517) 432-2000. For more information on the show, visit goldengirlstour.com.
