Stars Of GIRLS NIGHT: THE MUSICAL Set To Preside Over The Closing Bell At NASDAQ 7/24

The stars of the new Off-Broadway hit "Girls Night: The Musical" will preside over the closing bell at NASDAQ MarketSite Friday, July 24th at 4 p.m. The ceremony will be broadcast live on the 7-story-tall NASDAQ Tower looming over Times Square at Broadway & 43rd Street.

Entertainment Event Productions presents the Off-Broadway premiere of the smash UK hit "Girls Night: The Musical," written by Louise Roche and directed by Jack Randle. Performances began June 2nd at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia's (227 West 46th Street, next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre). Featured in the cast are Yvette M. Clark, Renee Colvert, Laurie Gardner, Justine Hall, and Carly Sakalove. The limited engagement, originally announced through July 26th, was recently extended through August 30th.

"Girls Night: The Musical" has earned rave reviews playing packed houses throughout the United Kingdom since 2003. It premiered in the US in May 2007 and has toured across the country since then. It has been described as "'Desperate Housewives' meets 'Mamma Mia'!" (Applause Magazine), "A boisterous, bust-out, bawdy musical revue" (Wisconsin State Journal), "An infectious, exhilarating sense of intoxication!" (Hollywood Reporter), and "As funny and outrageous as 'Sex and the City'!" (The Advocate).

Hilarious and touching, "Girls Night: The Musical" follows five friends in their 30s and 40s during a wild and outrageous girls night out at a karaoke bar. Friends since their teens, they have all had their fair share of heartache and tragedy, joy and success. Among the characters are Carol the party girl, blunt Anita who tells it like it is, Liza with her marital (and eating) issues, boring Kate the designated driver, and Sharon, the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn't resist tagging along. Together, they reminisce about their younger days, celebrate their current lives and look to the future, all the while belting out an array of classic anthems such as "I Will Survive," "Lady Marmalade," "It's Raining Men," "Man I Feel Like a Woman," and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."

Performances of "Girls Night: The Musical" are Tuesday at 7 PM, Wednesday through Friday evenings at 8PM, Saturday at 5 PM, and Sunday at 3 PM. Tickets for all performances are $55 and may be purchased online at www.girlsnightthemusical.com or by phone at 212/947-9300.
