World Premiere! The Golden Girls are back by popular demand, get ready to take an unforgettable trip "Over the Rainbow" in this uproarious brand-new musical parody!
When a fierce hurricane sweeps through Miami, Dorothy Zbornak is whisked away to the magical network known as TV Land. There, she must find her way back home to Miami, by teaming up with some familiar companions. Rose, the loveable yet clueless Scarecrow from St Olaf, who’s searching for a brain. Blanche, the sultry Southern Tin-Belle, desperately in need of a heart (and maybe a little romance). And, of course, the sharp-tongued Sophia the Lion, searching for courage while biting back at anyone who crosses her path.
Dorothy and her three friends will sing, dance, and wisecrack their way down the golden brick road on their musical adventure. Will the girls find their heart, brain, and courage — along with a little Miami sunshine? Or will they meet celebrity sitcom stars that inhabit TV Land? It’s a musical mashup you won’t want to miss!
This brand-new musical is the perfect blend of wit, charm, and nostalgia. Full of vibrant tunes, hilarious zingers, and enough sass to light up the stage, this musical delivers a fun, nostalgic ride you’ll never forget.​
Over The Rainbow: The Golden Girls Musical stars the Rochester Golden Girls, after previously performing sold out Golden Girls musical parodies in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024. Based on the 1980s sitcom, Rochester’s Golden Girls are played by a cast of professional male actors with a brand-new storyline set present day. Starring Eric Vaughn Johnson as Dorothy (originally Bea Arthur); Hunter E Vaughn as Rose (originally Betty White); Eric Schutt as Blanche (originally Rue McClanahan); and Shawn Gray as Sophia (originally Estelle Getty), alongside OFC favorites Paul Urriola, Ben Reiner, and Calvin Staropoli. Production is made possible with support from The Pride Fund.
