USA: “The FRIENDS Experience“ Makes Temporary Stop in Chicago

After New York City and Boston, the fan experience world dedicated to the popular US sitcom of  ”FRIENDS^TM” (first broadcast in 1994) now makes a temporary stop in Chicago, in the The Shops at North Bridge retail complex. Through January 3^rd, 2021, visitors to the themed interactive exhibition will be able to explore twelve nostalgia-packed rooms and activations plus several all-new experiences including Monica’s kitchen and balcony and the iconic FRIENDS fountain from the series’ intro. The space provides opportunities to explore the show’s history and to re-create favorite moments including peaking around Rachel and Monica’s purple door or relaxing in Chandler and Joey’s recliner.

“We hope ‘The FRIENDS Experience’ will bring a bit of joy to Chicagoans in these difficult times. Our team has worked diligently to ensure that the experience provides fans of the show with a fun yet safe environment while visiting,” comments Jonathan Mayers, Founder & CEO of Superfly X, the New York-based company specialized in experience design. In cooperation with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Warner Bros. Television Group, Cincinnati-based JRA company and Chicago Scenic Studios, the FRIENDS experience was created to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of the series. (eap)
