THE CHERRY SISTERS REVISITED
by Dan O'Brien
original music by Michael Friedman
directed by Andrew Leynse
March 18 - April 11, 2010
How far can you go with ambition, gumption, a good heart—and no talent? The Cherry Sisters’ dreams of Vaudeville took them from their Iowa barn to Broadway, where their inept acrobatics and tone-deaf caterwauling continually sold out, bringing them fame—and a barrage of rotten cabbages. With music by Michael Friedman (This Beautiful City, Gone Missing) and based on a true story, Dan O’Brien’s thought-provoking comedy takes a look at the insatiable urge to perform, and the audience’s inability to look away.
