“I don’t think people are going to want to leave,”
said Maggie Wheeler, who played the recurring
role of Janice on “Friends.” The hit TV series
starred Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, David
Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.


“It feels like the show,” Wheeler continued. “It
feels like memory lane. I think people are going
to be really, really excited to walk through and
spend time here.”
