'Girls' 'Girls' 'Girls'
An ageless sitcome finds new life.

Imagine what the folks back in St. Olaf would say: a quartet of guys in drag playing out favorite sunshine state denizens, Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, Rue McClanahan, and Betty White, in The Goldren Girls: Live!

Don't choke on your cheesecake-it happens three nights a week at Rose's Turn, a downtown NYC piano pbar where the faithful giggle at word-for-word reenactments of Golden Girls chestnuts "The Break In" and "Isn't it Romantic". "The show was only supposed to run for four nights," says writer-director-star Petter Mac (Sophia) of it's August debut. "But the phone didn't stop ringing." Mac and producer John Scharfer (Dorothy) have bigger plans for the world's favorite geriatric sitcom: a Girls-inspired musical, Shady Pines, Ma! which will include original songs like "Picture It", a paean to Sophia's tales of her early years in Silicily.

The TV strs have yet yo attend, but "Rue is a ware of thr shows," says Mac. "Actually,she tried to come see it and couldn't. It was sold out." So who does Blanche need to sleep with to get a ticket?
--Nicholas Fonseca

There's also a picture...rather interesting if you ask me.
