The joy of a life long friendship is the ability to look back over the years and see all of the ups and downs that came with being friends for so long. When an elderly Rose must say goodbye to her best friend Joyce she finds herself going back to the beginning of their friendship. A couple of young girls that had the dream of being a dynamic duo as performers. The only promise that they made to each other was that through all of the success that they may or may not have they would never lose sight of their friendship. But as the tales go they find themselves very successful and being pulled in different directions which also pulled them apart. Finally Joyce decides that she needs to move on to the next step in her life, a husband and kids and as she leaves to pursue her new dream Rose continues to shine. The two drift apart for many years until Joyce works to find Rose in a nursing home, still a star, still her “Rosie.” The two women are reunited, perform one last time, and spend their last days together as they had spent so many years before. An emotional friendship piece that makes us realize how friends turn into family and no amount of time apart can kill such a bond. (*These two performers will sing within the piece.)
