SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, Music from the 1930s & 40s
Hop aboard the *Chattanooga Choo Choo* and join The Manhattan Dolls on a *Sentimental Journey* through the great music of the 30s and 40s. Sit back and enjoy these timeless classics, or if you're *In the Mood* get up and dance! Sentimental Journey blends beautiful ballads with your favorite toe-tapping tunes, and of course, in classic USO fashion, takes some time to honor our brave men and women in the military. From boogie woogie to the blues, Sentimental Journey celebrates the best the Great American Songbook has to offer.
ROCKIN' WITH THE DOLLS, a 1950s/60s Revue!
*Stop in the name of Love* and join The Dolls as they take you back to the classic sound of the girl group era and the start of rock and roll! Whether you're on top of *Blueberry Hill* with your sweetheart or sayin' *Please Mister Postman*, you will enjoy the sound of the 50s and 60s in our nod to this bygone era, featuring music from popular groups and artists such at The Supremes, The Chordettes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations, Carole King, Fats Domino and many more!
ALL DOLLED UP, a Roaring 20s Revue
Join us as we jump in time when patriotism was high, the First World War had just ended and everyone was proud to be an American; where feathers, pearls and dresses on the fringe of fashion were all the rage in every neighborhood speakeasy. These *Broadway Babies* can carry a tune and with a *Grand Ol Flag* in hand will tap their way into your heart!
