This long-buried gem will sparkle with its glorious, catchy music and wittily hysterical lyrics.

They band together and take life by the bootstraps and go to extraordinary creative measures to save their home. Along the way they discover the value of saying “YES!” when life invites us.

What critics have said about the musical 70, Girls, 70:
“A bright, jaunty score by Kander & Ebb… Both a traditional book musical about the life-enhancing properties of thievery and… a brassy valentine to showbiz troupers.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“A disarming tribute to age… never permits you to wax sentimental over the jaunty members of the stage’s considerably more mature set.” – The New York Post
