FRIENDS! THE MUSICAL PARODY with a book and lyrics by Bob and Tobly McSmith and music by Assaf Gleizner and its home in The Jerry Orbach Theater at The Theater Center (210 West 50th Street, 3rd Floor), is just one of many musical parodies that the duo has written together. The show lovingly pokes fun at the beloved TV show Friends, celebrating the adventures of your favorite 20-somethings, as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in New York City. It’s a typical day at New York’s only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride bursts in and kicks the whole gang out of second gear! The musical recreates favorite moments from all 10 seasons of Friends through an uncensored, fast-paced, music-filled romp. The show is recommended for audiences aged 13+.

Tickets for FRIENDS! are available by calling the box office at (212) 921-7862 or online at Ticketmaster. Rush tickets ($40) are available ONE HOUR before showtime by calling or visiting the box office.
