Trust me!!

That’s right – Trust me!

Call, go online, or visit the Waukesha Civic Theatre immediately and purchase some of the few remaining tickets for their current show: "The Taffetas”! Running through September 30’th, this show appeals to all looking for music that is both nostalgic yet refreshing. Light lyrics with wonderful accompaniment, The Taffetas is a reason to call friends and relax while enjoying the fastest 90 minutes of entertainment in Southeastern Wisconsin.

The showbill states:
”It's the fabulous 50's and four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana are making their national television debut. Delightful, fun, lighthearted, and featuring some of the greatest hits of the era, this tribute to girl groups like the Maguire Sisters and the Chordettes will keep you smiling long after you leave the theatre…”

Observing the audience, one had to notice the number of tilting and swaying heads and the number of theatre-goers tapping their hands and/or feet to this fast-paced romp down memory lane. Was life ever really this innocent? Were the early days of television really this basic? And…”Wow – I didn’t remember the music back then being this good!”

The singing Taffeta sisters – Perfect! Amy Barootian, Anne Gore, Denise Meagher, and Roberta Prospeck will have you believing they really are sisiters and have been together their whole lives. They hit every note, every nuance, every dance step, every gesture, every eye contact with the skilled grace and talent of Broadway actresses. The musicians – Brian Running, Rich Labinski (isn’t he ever home?), and Paul Barnes are obviously enjoying themselves and the show. Edward Carroll and Eric Eggers are the perfect stage accents for this John Cramer-directed showcase of a kinder, gentler time.

My wife left the show and was already working the phones this morning to “spread the word” and invite others to the show next week. At $18/ticket, this show is a must-see!

Need a smile? Looking for escapism from the pace of everyday “busy-ness”?

“Trust me” – The Taffetas is your ticket to fun!
