Chronicling the comic journey of three vivacious Texas teens from cheerleaders to sorority sisters to housewives, liberated women and beyond, this tangy tale of coming-of-age in the ’60s and ’70s is a musical voyage racing through an era that had to be lived to be believed. With a tunefully evocative score by David Kirshenbaum and Jack Heifner’s hilarious adaptation of his long-running off-Broadway smash, Vanities – A New Musical offers a snapshot-sharp portrait of the lives, loves, disappointments, and dreams of best friends caught up in times that are a-changin’.


Vanities, A New Musical
is based on Vanities (the play) by Jack Heifner. Heifner’s play ran for 1,785 performances to become one of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history and has been seen all over the world.Vanities, A New Musical had its world premiere at TheatreWorks, Palo Alto in June 2006. This premiere production won the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Musical Production and Best Original Score. Vanities, A New Musical was also produced at Pasadena Playhouse (CA) in 2008 before its Off-Broadway debut at Second Stage (NY) in July 2009. In August 2009, Vanities, A New Musical closed Off-Broadway and landed at The 5th Avenue Theatre (WA)/A.C.T. in 2010.
