Kim didn't want to reveal too many details about the actual story, but admitted that she watched many episodes in order to properly translate the sitcom's universe onto the stage.
“That time was great. It was very avant-garde, two women living together. It's still avant-garde. […] I'm going to make it a tribute to Quebec and a tribute to the women of Quebec,” she said.
