Queens Theatre Presents THAT GOLDEN GIRLS SHOW! - A PUPPET PARODY

Queens Theatre will bring 'That Golden Girls Show! a puppet parody' to Queens as the venue's first in-person show of 2022. There is no better way to start the new year than laughing with the Golden Girls and celebrating the fabulous Betty White! The final leg of the 'That Golden Girls Show!' tour will be presented on Sunday, February 20th at 3 PM and 7 PM, and tickets are on sale now through the Queens Theatre Box Office and website.

'That Golden Girls Show!' is a brand-new show that parodies classic Golden Girls moments - with puppets! Get set for an evening of cheesecake, laughter, jazzercise, shoulder pads, sex, and the elegant art of the quick-witted put down. 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 our four girls from Miami. For the first-timers, this will be a joyful introduction to the brilliance of that television series.

The show will also bring together fans of the legendary TV show, who now more than ever, wish to celebrate Betty White's incredible career and one of her most famous roles. White, who played Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls" for seven years in 177 episodes, sadly passed away at the age of 99 on December 31st, 2021.

"We want, more than anything, to bring joy to our community right now. 'Golden Girls' is comfort food for multiple generations of people. I hope to see groups of friends in the theater," said Taryn Sacramone, Executive Director of Queens Theatre.
