For most of us, the idea of reliving high school is nothing short of a nightmare. When Romy and Michele are invited to their ten-year high school reunion, Michele envisions the whole experience as a fun road trip, while Romy, very reluctantly, agrees to go but only if they come up with something to impress their classmates. To this end, the two hatch an outrageous scheme to totally re-invent themselves. 

The musical is based on the cult film classic Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion. It features a book by the film’s screenwriter Robin Schiff, and 80s-90s inspired music and lyrics by Gwendolyn Sanford and Brandon Jay. Music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations are by Keith Harrison Dworkin, choreography is by Karla Garcia, and direction is by Kristin Hanggi.
