show is actually a joining of two different, but similar, award winning
musicals that tell the story of two 50’s era harmony groups. The
Taffeta’s are four singing sisters that have reunited to reminisce about
their great girl group music and careers and the Cardigans, who hail from
Wooster, Ohio, have reunited with their distinctive male harmony style to join
them. This is a unique opportunity as this is the first time these two popular
50’s era harmony group musicals are being offered as a single
evening’s entertainment. This was made possible by special arrangement
with the creator, Rick Lewis. Both shows are to be presented in reunion version
format. Casting needs include (4) males and (4) females that can sing and do
some movement.</span></em><em><span style='font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";
