Spend the evening revisiting the show that helped launch their careers and lifetime friendship, all while they sing hits from the shows that made you fall in love with them. With 16 Broadway shows and over 200 episodes of television between them, this trio has truly done it all—from “Beetlejuice” to “Big Brother,” “Mean Girls” to “Legally Blonde” (original Elle Woods), “Dancing with the Stars” to “Beauty and the Beast,” “Wicked” to “Gypsy,” and even the Country Music Awards!
Join these powerhouse performers on a hilarious and meaningful musical journey about their origins, friendships, careers and personal lives.
