WaistWatchers The Musical! makes its Chicago premiere at the Royal George Theatre, 1641 N. Halsted St., beginning Sept. 13 for an open run, with a press opening Sept. 21.
Produced by Dana Matthow and featuring musical icon Martha Wash—known for singing the powerful anthem ‘It’s Raining Men,’ and “Everybody Dance Now” —the musical takes a lighthearted and hilarious look at women dealing with their relationship to food, friendship and fitness, while celebrating the power of female friendship on the journey to self-acceptance.
In addition to Martha Wash starring as Connie (Sept. 13-Oct. 28), the Chicago production will feature Sarah Godwin (Cindy), Seandrea E. Earls (Cheryl) and Katherine S. Barnes (MC). The creative team includes Matthew E. Silva (director), Alan Jacobson (creator, book and lyrics), Vince Di Mura (music) and Dani Tucci-Jurraga (choreography).
