"The Golden Girls: LIVE!" ALL-MALE Loving Tribute Extends Run and Moves To
Off-Broadway

The Golden Girls: LIVE! has been extended through November 23rd.  From 1985
to 1992, millions of Americans tuned in to catch the loveable antics of
Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia.  Now they’re back in their original
Saturday night timeslot, only this time, LIVE on stage! The 60-minute show
is a loving tribute to our favorite mostly gray haired gals with an ALL MALE
cast.  The show features back-to-back episodes pulled from the scripts and
flavor of the original sitcom (ALA the separately produced surprise hit
tribute to the Brady Bunch). The show premiered on Saturday August 16th at
9PM then replayed at 11PM. The show has extended it run Fridays, Saturdays
at 9pm and 11pm and Sundays at 7pm through November 23.

There is a $15 cover charge, and 2-drink minimum. Upstairs at Rose's Turn is
located at 55 Grove Street, New York, NY, call 212-366-5438 (after 4:30 pm)
for reservations.

Our experience has been that once the lights dim and the infamous "Thank You
For Being A Friend" plays, audience members sing along and clap their hands
in time to the music. As we make our way through the crowd we receive a warm
and welcoming ovation. Things get slightly "Rocky Horror" at some points
when a handful of audience members start reciting dialogue along with us. It
just proves what a cultural icon the show was and still is. Our audiences
range in age, color and sexual orientation.

The show has been so well received that we are moving the show to Dillon's
Cabaret located on West 54th Street for an eight show a week open-ended run
under and Equity cabaret contract.  Dinner will be available and the show
will be extended to include a third fun filled episode per seating.  In
addition we will be cycling from nine episodes on alternating nights.  The
revised show will preview in December and officially open on January 2,
2004.  The cost of the show is $45 plus a $15 food/drink minimum.  Several
attractive pre-fixe all inclusive packages are also available.

The Producer's have chosen to raise money at each performance( and give a
portion of the proceeds) for the disease which has struck down Estelle
Getty.  At the conclusion of each evening’s performance they will be taking
donations for the Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsy Foundation.  These
donations will be made in Estelle Getty’s name.  She was recently diagnosed
with this debilitating fatal disease after being mistakenly diagnosed with
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.  It is in fact the same disease that ended
Dudley Moore’s life.
