Its been nearly 25 years since The Golden Girls wrapped, but the cultural imprint of Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose remains massive, inspiring drag homages , a coloring book , a podcast and even a planned restaurant .
With that in mind, writer-director Jonathan Rockefeller hopes his latest project will endear the Golden Girls to an off-Broadway audience in a spectacular new way. That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody , which is currently in previews at New Yorks DR2 Theatre , recasts Miamis fab foursome as fuzzy, Sesame Street-style marionettes.
Watch the new shows faithful recreation of the series opening credits above.
