AMERICAN THEATRE: If the name Girls on Sand rings a slight bell, that may be because you’ve heard of Guys on Ice, the massively popular musical comedy by Fred Alley and James Kaplan that celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, originally joint-produced by Northern Sky Theater (then American Folklore Theatre) and Milwaukee Rep. While Girls on Sand—a new musical receiving its world premiere at Northern Sky (through Aug. 24)—isn’t connected to Guys on Ice, the new show’s creative team hopes to capture a similar exploration of friendship with new characters and a fresh season as they turn coastal.
