ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION Becomes an Off-Broadway Musical this Fall

The 1997 cult classic film Romy and Michele's High School Reunion has been adapted into an Off-Broadway musical. The show is currently running at New World Stages in New York City through August 5, 2024.

The musical follows the film's well-known plot, where best friends Romy and Michele invent fake, successful lives (claiming to have invented Post-it Notes) to impress their former classmates at their 10-year high school reunion.

Key details about the production include:

• Original Score: The show features an entirely new pop-rock score with an 80s and 90s feel, written by Gwendolyn Sanford and Brandon Jay. It is not a jukebox musical using songs from the movie.
• Creative Team: The book for the musical was written by Barry Kemp, who was also the screenwriter for the original film.
• Cast: The Off-Broadway production stars Leana Rae as Romy and Malia Pyles as Michele.
• Development: The musical has been in development for years, having had its world premiere in Seattle back in 2017.

The production aims to capture the same joyful spirit of friendship, fun, and iconic fashion that made the original movie a beloved fan favorite.
