About

FRIENDS! The Musical Parody is the comedic musical that lovingly pokes fun at TV's Friends, celebrating the adventures of your favorite group of 20-something friends as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990s Manhattan.

It's a typical day at New York's only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride enters the picture and kicks the whole gang out of second gear! The new musical recreates our favorite moments from all 10 years of Friends through an uncensored, fast-paced, music filled romp. Recommended for mature audiences.

    good if you watched all the episodes

    by S. on 3/7/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    good production, if you saw ALL the episodes you'd find it even funnier as there were a lot of in-jokes.

    Couldn’t Have Asked For A Better Time!!

    by Alexis R. on 3/6/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I absolutely LOVED the Friends the Musical Parody!! The show it self was so entertaining and I don’t believe I stopped laughing once. The Broadway Playhouse was very nice as well. It was my first time going there and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the service and all the employees were very friendly and helpful. Great service! Overall the entire experience was perfect. Thank you for a great show!

    Just meh

    by Anne on 3/5/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    As a diehard Friends fan, I was really looking forward to this show and, in general, was disappointed. There were a few laugh out loud moments but overall, I felt that they tried too hard to jam as many references as they could in and there was no real storyline. I thought the repeated jabs at Matthew Perry's drug problems were in poor taste and I was perplexed at the vocal inflections of the actress portraying Rachel. I don't understand what purpose the character of Gunther served, but if she was there, why couldn't she have played the other characters instead of the guy playing Chandler? I was excited to see that the same artistic team has done a parody of The Office, another favorite show, but after this experience it's doubtful that I will buy tickets to that if it comes to Chicago.

    PIVOT!!!

    by D. P. on 3/4/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    VERY CLEVER!! If you are a fan of "Friends"... This is a MUST see! We laughed the entire time and every character was spot on! Kudos to the entire cast! "Rachel" had the exact voice! Joey played "dumb" very well! Ross was "down" and gloomy. Chandler was, well, Chandler. Loved that Phoebe referred to her dead mother and pointed out not Smelly ***. Fat Monica was hysterical! However, the most laughter-out-loud moment was JANICE!!! Fantastic!!! Loved every minute of the entire show!!

    We were expecting a little more. The show was marginally funny at best.

    Disappointed Fan

    by Friends Forever on 3/3/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Unfortunately we did not enjoy this Parody and left at intermission. We understand it's a "Parody" and meant to be corny, but found the jokes distasteful. They tried to take the original jokes and make jokes off of them, but for us they didn't work. We have never left a show early, so we were sad to have done this.
