Twas a Girls' Night Before Christmas: The Musical - Review and Info

Apparently, I left off the end of the title when I invited hubby to see this show with me. You know, the part that says, 'The Musical.' I was only conserving words, so I felt a little bad when I saw the look of horror on his face when we picked up our tickets at will-call. LOL

The show ended up being quite cute, and I really liked the cozy City Theater. Detroit is a great city to be near, with lots to see and do. We grabbed dinner beforehand, then took the People Mover over to the Grand Circus Park station to walk the last few blocks to the theater.

Twas a Girls' Night Before Christmas was a show about four close friends, well, five, if you count the one who died and narrates for us as sort of an in-between angel. She has to do a good deed to get her real wings. The friends are hanging out to catch up before the holidays. Since they're all adults with the expected busy lives, they don't get to spend time with each other as often as they'd like. The angel gives us a bit of history, and the friends bring us up to date with the new events of the last few months. Don't leave at intermission, though, as the angel has a big surprise ending in store!

While there's an invite at the beginning for lots of audience participation, the crowd at our showing didn't do much (although I was admittedly singing at my seat and don't worry, Gloria Gaynor fan off to the left - we all saw you! LOL). The songs that the girls broke into at the 'club' where they were hanging out were easily recognizable, and their dance moves were great! It was definitely a fun performance.



Twas A Girls Night Before Christmas: The Musical will be playing at the lovely City Theater in Detroit from December 14 - 17, 2017. This hilarious show features five ladies gathering for a night on the town to laugh, cry, and just let their hair down during the craziest of times - the holidays!

From Olympia Entertainment:  "This musical is guaranteed to resonate with anyone who has survived the holiday season, from the long visits with in-laws to the overcrowded malls. ‘Twas A Girls Night Before Christmas: The Musical will feature the touching and hilarious writing by Roche that has entertained audiences worldwide, with classic Christmas songs and contemporary Hits that will have everyone singing and dancing along."
Tickets can be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com,  the Fox Theatre Box Office and the Little Caesars Arena XFINITY Box Office (both without service charge) and Ticketmaster.com.

I received tickets to the show for promoting, but all opinions are my own.
