Girls Like Us
Monday, October 05, 2009 8:00 pm
A special Broadway Close Up presentation, Girls Like Us is based on the bestselling book by Sheila Weller and features the music of Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon. If you grew up listening to these songs, you’ll love the unique interpretations of Merkin’s stellar cast, which includes Liz Callaway, Barbara Walsh, Capathia Jenkins, Jessica Molaskey and Ann Hampton Callaway. Weller will read from her book and discuss the three artists, whose music influenced and reflects the women’s revolution in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Come take an eye-opening tour through the stories and songs that have become ingrained in the psyche of America's soul. Bring your mother or your daughter!
