THE TAFFETAS: A MUSICAL JOURNEY THRU THE FABULOUS FIFTIES!

---

THE TAFFETAS is a 1950s-themed musical revue that premiered Off-Broadway at The Cherry Lane Theatre in August 1988, running for 165 performances. The show follows four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana (America's Hme Town) —Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl, and Donna—seeking their big break on a national television talent show.  

A tribute to the girl groups of the 1950's, THE TAFFETAS pay tribute to the sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes. 

Opening Off-Broadway almost two years before "Forever Plaid," THE TAFFETAS made nostalgia what it is today! Spend an hour and a half with THE TAFFETAS and their three-piece band and remember what Sunday night television was like on your 12-inch black and white screen!

"DELIGHTFUL!"

'A smile is a crooked line that makes everything straight.'

That motto sums up the charm of a show WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE!"

 - Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

"The Taffetas is ideal!"

" 'CRITIC'S CHOICE!' Goofy and winsome and ever so tuneful, 

this Off-Broadway spoof biography of a fictional '5os girl group 

is superbly arranged and sung!

 - Time Magazine

"If you liked Ike, you'll LOVE the Taffetas!"

 - People Magazine

"Somehow, it is the innocence of the era, besides its sound, that makes this musical so endearing. In their prom-style taffeta dresses, perfect period hairstyles, singing four-part harmony, one can almost believe the songs they sing which

tell the world that "Love Is a Two-Way Street."

 - William A. Raidy, NEW YORK STAGE

"The Taffetas is an irresistable show!  Hilarious!"

 - Jacques LeSourd, GANNETT

"THEY'RE DELIGHTFUL!"

"The Taffetas appeal to everybody, including the babyboomers!"
