*THE BIKINIS*, a juke box musical about a 60’s girls group reunited to save
a trailer park, will have a preview performance on June 20 and a formal
opening on June 21.  The show will run for four weeks, closing on July 21.

Greystone Hall in downtown Akron.  The show is appropriate for families.



*The Show*



Back together after 20 years, The Bikinis stage a comeback concert to raise
money for the good folks at Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach Resort so that
they won’t be forced to accept a million dollars apiece by the evil real
estate developer.

* *

*THE BIKINIS*, or "The Jersey Girls," relive their heyday and beyond,
beginning the summer of 1964, the night these four inseparable friends got
their name, winning the Belmar Beach Talent Contest, wearing just their
bikinis!  It’s now 1999 and although the bikinis won’t fit, the voices are
still spectacular.

* *

*THE BIKINIS* is a nonstop celebration of song filled with hits like IT’S
IN HIS KISS, YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI, HEAT WAVE, UNDER THE BOARDWALK, THESE
BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN’, AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, INCENSE AND
PEPPERMINTS, LOOK WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO MY SONG, MA, WHEN WILL I BE LOVED,
I’M EVERY WOMAN, I WILL SURVIVE, IT’S RAINING MEN, and 20 more.
