After a successful run across the country in 2023, the theater production Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue will expand to 40 more cities in 2024, including a stop at Wyly Theatre in Dallas, January 30-February 4.

The production is making its first visit to Dallas after traveling to 14 cities throughout 2023. Dallas will be the second stop on the tour in 2024, following the opening show in Houston, January 23-27.

The show, put on by Murray & Peter Present, brings Miami’s sassiest seniors to the stage for one more hurrah. Sophia is out on bail after being busted by the DEA for running a drug ring for retirees. Blanche and Rose have founded CreakN, a thriving sex app for seniors. And Dorothy is trying to hold it all together with help from a new (much) younger sex-crazed lover.

Written by Robert Leleux, the show features an all-male cast, including Ryan Bernier as Dorothy, Vince Kelley as Blanche, Adam Graber as Rose, Christopher Kamm as Sophia, and Jason Bowen as Stanley/Burt.

Tickets for the production, which will have eight performances, will go on sale at ATTPAC.org on Friday, October 13. Ticket prices start at $40; a special VIP photo experience add-on includes photos with the actors on the Golden Girls set after the show.

RIP, Dallas Stadium

Jerry Jones wastes no time restoring AT&T Stadium after World Cup

Jerry Jones didn't waste any time starting to get his stadium signage back when the World Cup was finished at the home of his Dallas Cowboys.

The high-profile owner of the NFL's Cowboys had to surrender AT&T Stadium in Arlington to FIFA for the tournament-high nine matches held under the giant video board and retractable roof. It was renamed Dallas Stadium for a month — even on Google maps.

Since none of the primary sponsors of the Cowboys matched those of the governing body of the World Cup, coverings were put over the large letters and logos on the roof and the smaller “AT&T Stadium” signs above the giant sliding glass doors on each end of the stadium.

Less than three hours after Spain beat France 2-0 in the semifinals on Tuesday, July 14 in the final match in Texas, the Cowboys sent an email announcing a photo opportunity for 7 am Wednesday. That's when workers were set to begin removing the coverings. The same email was sent again early Wednesday morning.

While the process was expected to take a few days, the large stadium name on one side of the roof was completely uncovered well before noon. Workers also were removing World Cup and FIFA banners that were on temporary fencing around the perimeter of the stadium.

Jones was a pioneer for radical changes in sponsorships in the NFL. When he bought the Cowboys in 1989, NFL teams shared almost all sponsorship money.

Six years later, the NFL and Jones sued each other as he fought for the right to strike his own sponsorship deals. Jones famously showed up on the field before a Monday night game with Nike CEO Phil Knight after reaching a deal with that shoe company when the NFL's shoe sponsor was Reebok.

There were plenty of coverings inside AT&T Stadium for the World Cup, including over signs for Pepsi, Dr Pepper and Ford.
