More about The Golden Games: Sophia Petrillo has gone missing! Your favorite pals and confidants Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose must travel down the road and back again to New Brunswick, New Jersey to find her. The hip old grannies take you on a musical journey through The Golden Girls’ favorite game shows! Put on your trivia caps because lucky audience members will become contestants, interacting directly with your bosom buddies, while competing to become the next #TokenSophia. Grab That Dough! Love Connection! Jeopardy Dream Sequences! Oh My! Dreyfus, we’re not in Miami anymore, sugar. 

More about GG™: The Golden Gays™ burst onto the scene in 2017—first at RuPaul's DragCon NYC, then at the famed Rue La Rue Cafe, where their trivia show video went viral. What began as a flash mob has now skyrocketed to sold-out engagements all across America and even the high seas. GG™ tours with their hit musical shows “Hot Flashbacks,” “The Golden Games,” “Thank YULE For Being A Friend,” and "Betty & Bea Against Humanity," to enthusiastic audiences in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and the middle of the ocean.
