SUMMARY:Vanities: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Vanities: The Musical chronicles the life-affirming journey of three vivacious Texas teens from cheerleaders to sorority sisters to housewives to liberated women and beyond. This musical captures a snapshot-sharp portrait of the lives\, loves\, disappointments\, and dreams of these young women growing up during the turbulent sixties and seventies and reconnecting in the late 1980s. With a tunefully evocative score by David Kirshenbaum (Summer of ’42) and Jack Heifner’s hilarious adaptation of his long-running Off-Broadway smash\, Vanities: The Musical is a funny and poignant look at three best friends who discover that\, through thirty years of rapidly changing times\, the one thing they can rely on is each other. \nhttps://surflight.org/ \ninfo@surflight.org \n609-492-9477
