About the Show

FRIENDSHIP IS THE BEST MEDICINE
TGIF and time to join Karen, Dawn, Sheila, and Meg as they get together to watch a chick flick and play their favorite drinking game! As the festivities proceed and the beverages flow, they each divulge that their lives haven’t quite turned out the way they’d hoped. When they view themselves with the same kindness, humor and reverence that their friends do, they learn how to make real life better than the movies. Whether you’re a fan of romantic comedies or teary sisterhood dramas, you’ll recognize the delicious tidbits of life advice that chick flicks offer our four friends on their transformative journey of empowerment. Chick Flick the Musical promises that you can get through anything with a little help from your friends … and chick flicks!

AUTHOR STATEMENT
“I wrote Chick Flick the Musical to leverage the iconic conventions of the chick flick genre which have permeated the female zeitgeist. Movie quotes, makeover montages, and meet cutes have created a shared language and experience amongst women, and Chick Flick the Musical celebrates this phenomenon, telling the story of four women who get together for a girls night.”

– Suzy Conn: Book, Music, and Lyrics

TESTIMONIAL

Chick Flick the Musical is exactly the kind of show my audiences want to see. It is touching and very funny with a stand out pop score. The women laughed and cried, and as they left the theatre they were all talking about which character each of them related to the most. They thanked me for bringing the show to our community. People are still talking about it weeks later and I’m already planning to bring it back for an encore performance in my 2016 season.
