The quintessential story of family, friendship, and steely Southern sisterhood.

The celebrated Southern classic of family and friendship, this is the story of a group of strong and beautiful women who cluster around Truvy’s Beauty Parlor in a small Louisiana parish. The story centers on Shelby, who moves from wedding to childbirth to medical complications with a love of life and a willingness to face its possibilities bravely. Popularly adapted for the screen, see the play that started it all. Steel Magnolias is directed by legendary two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey (Steaming, Hurlyburly, Designing Women).
