VANITIES, A New Musical, spans the turbulent ’60s through the early ’90s and explores how important friends are as one faces life’s defining moments: growing up, getting older and getting over it. VANITIES is a funny and poignant look at three women who discover that, even in 30 years of rapidly changing times, the one thing they can rely on is each other.
Based on the smash hit that ran for 5 years, Jack Heifner adapts his time-honored play, David Kirshenbaum writes the tunefully evocative score and two time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey directs. Bob Verini of Variety says “May well outshine the three-decade prominence of Heifner‘s original.” |
