“We’re excited to bring The FRIENDS™ Experience to Brisbane as the tour continues across Australia,” said Stacy Moscatelli, CEO of Original X Productions. “There is such a passionate fan base here, and we can’t wait to welcome them into the world of FRIENDS and onto the iconic orange sofa as they relive some of their favourite moments from the series. We look forward to continuing to share this global experience with guests across the region."
Featuring a variety of nostalgia-packed, interactive recreated sets including Monica’s kitchen and the iconic FRIENDS™ fountain, The FRIENDS™ Experience provides guests with the opportunity to take a trip down memory lane with plenty of photo opportunities and chances to recreate some of their favorite scenes, such as peeking around Rachel and Monica’s purple door, relaxing in Chandler and Joey’s recliners or helping Ross with the infamous sofa pivot. No FRIENDS™ experience would be complete without paying homage to the show’s famed coffee house, Central Perk, which will be fully recreated - complete with the legendary orange sofa. FRIENDS™ fans will also be able to take home a memento of their visit from The FRIENDS™ Experience Retail Store, where they will find a selection of exclusive merchandise.
