Imagine a rendition of smelly cat in a musical? Iconic and beloved TV show “Friends” is soon going to become an off-Broadway musical.

The unauthorized musical parody is titled “Friends! The Musical” and will be created by writers Bob and Tobly McSmith. Tobly told Entertainment Weekly that they are excited to make a musical on the hit series. “It only makes sense to set our sights on the hit TV show ‘Friends’ after creating parody musicals about ‘Saved by the Bell,’ ‘Full House,’ and ‘Beverley Hills, 90210,’” he said, “Not only do we poke fun and celebrate the show, we also get some jokes in about the actor’s lives.”

The musical will open in New York City at The Triad Theatre this fall.

On the official website, Tobly said, “Oh and there will be a smelly cat, there will be Janice, and there will be Fat Monica. We want all the alumni of ‘Friends’ to come to the show and possibly be in it for a night or two — our first call is to the agent of Marcel the Monkey.”

A number of songs will be played in the musical. Some of them are listed below:

  • “The Only Coffee Shop in New York City”
  • “45 Grove Street — How Can We Afford This Place?”
  • “How You Doing, Ladies?”
  • “Hey Ugly Naked Guy Who Lives Across the Street!”
  • “We Were On a Break!”
  • “I’m Gonna Hump U”
  • “Oh. My. God. It’s Janice!”
  • “Will They or Won’t They”
  • “The Ballad of Fat Monica”
  • “Could I Be Anymore … in Love with Monica”
  • “The One Where We Make a Million Dollars An Episode”
  • “We’ll Always Be There For You”

Tickets for “Friends! The Musical” go on sale in June. Fans of the show shouldn’t miss an opportunity to watch the celebration of the adored late ‘90s sitcom.
