Logo Design for Friends! The Musical Parody for its original 2017 World Premiere Off Broadway at The St. Luke Theater in New York City. The unauthorized musical stage production, which is still performing today, was based on the hit television series that ran on NBC in 1994-2004. The logo was used for various marketing collateral/merchandise and later used for future productions of the show.
Friends! The Musical Parody is the unauthorized comedic musical that lovingly pokes fun at TV’s Friends, celebrating the adventures of your favorite group of 20-somethings as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990s Manhattan. It’s a typical day at New York’s only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride bursts in and kicks the whole gang out of second gear! The musical recreates favorite moments from all 10 seasons of Friends through an uncensored, fast-paced, music-filled romp. The show is recommended for audiences aged 13+. FRIENDS! THE MUSICAL PARODY was created by Bob and Tobly McSmith.
