Get set for an evening of laughter, cheesecake, shoulder pads, sex and the elegant art of the quick-witted put down when That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody comes to Starlight Indoors as the final show in the 2019-20 Missouri Lottery Indoors Series, March 6-8.

 

Based on the hit NBC series that aired for seven seasons in the late '80s and early '90s, That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody follows the iconic characters in a series of three "episodes" throughout the performance. From Sophia's get-rich-quick schemes, to Rose's tales from St. Olaf, Blanche's insatiable hunt for men and the Fountain of Youth, and Dorothy's daily struggle to make sense of her life, devoted fans will fondly remember these four girls from Miami. For first-timers, this will be a joyful introduction to the brilliance of the iconic television series.

 

Audiences will immediately recognize the iconic Florida home that's been recreated as the set for That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody, and the cast features four incredible puppeteers performing the fabulous women immortalized as puppets.

 

"Puppets provide a heightened sense of reality and encourage the imagination of the audience," Jonathan Rockefeller, co-creator (with Thomas Duncan-Watt) and producer of That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody said. "Puppets also allow us to exaggerate the traits and nuances of the characters."

 

That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody opened Off-Broadway in New York City in 2016 and has been touring the country and swapping sassy one-liners ever since.

 

The cast includes Ashley Brooke as Sophia, Luke Dombroski as Dorothy, Erin Ulman as Blanche, and Colleen Welsh as Rose.
