Vanities—The Musical is a heartfelt and humorous chronicle of the lives of Joanne, Kathy, and Mar—tracing them from their late teen years through adulthood. They grow and change, testing the limits of what they thought they knew about themselves, as well as the narrow views of women society has presented them. Based on the hugely successful play of the same name by Jack Heifner (who also wrote the book for the musical), the action takes us through three decades in these women’s lives from 1963 to 1990—starting as vivacious small-town cheerleaders and best friends in high school, then sorority sisters in college and, finally, women with separate and very different lives. Featuring an infectious and melodic score by David Kirshenbaum, which playfully echoes the genres of music from the decades covered by the play, Vanities—The Musical is a chamber musical that celebrates the power of women and their unique bonds of friendship.
