A Taffeta Wedding, A World Premiere -- EXTENDED

The Tabard Theatre Company

October 23-November 21, 2009

Avg. Event Rating (4.4 Stars): Add Review/Comment

It’s 1964 and wedding bells are ringing for our favorite singing sisters, The Taffetas. Join them and their crooning beaus, The Cardigans, as they swoon and sway to favorite '50s and '60s pop tunes like Who’s Sorry Now, Kiss Me, Sincerely and Locomotion in this nostalgically fun musical about gals and the guys they love, written by Rick Lewis, creator of The Taffetas and A Taffeta Christmas.

    Pure enjoyment throughout, A Taffeta Wedding keeps you humming, bobbing your head and laughing (sometimes at shear amusement) as 8 talented vocalists entertain with all of the oldies we know and love. 40 somethings on up will enjoy it the most. Can hardly wait to get my parents there to see it! Collapse

    We were disappointed with this production. It was mainly a concert without much of a story line. Scenery and costuming were below par. However, the acting and musician talent was excellent! We look forward to the next production and will continue to support the Tabard Theater. Collapse

    I cannot remember when I have enjoyed anything more - of course it was greatly because I was totally back in my era - I was 17 in 1964! The performers were fantastic - I wanted to get up and dance with them by the end! If you want a fun, clean and refreshing experience - something you can safely take anyone to see...this is it! One other comment - I was with my 2 aunts and one has trouble walking - the nice young man that gave us the elevator ride deserves a pat on the back for his friendliness to us "older folks."

    Although the stage was populated with a cast that had not even been a twinkle in their parent's eyes, the music they brought to life was infused with the spirit of the time. I thought I had caught a ride on H.G. Well's time machine and found myseft in that gentler age when sock hops and bunny hops were what weekends were for. I found myself mouthing each song's words, and my body's nervous system recalled instantaneously the twists, strolls, swims, watusi and bossa novas we all demonstrated on the gym floors. A must see show for those in their 50s; a mustn't miss show for those 60 and above. No deep story line to ponder, just fun and a glorious trip down memory lane. Tickets are going fast, so don't miss your chance to pull out your saddle shoes, your bobby socks, your poodled hoop skirts, slick back your hair and have a few hours of absolute JOY! You'll be sorry if you miss this one!! Collapse

    Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the first two Taffetas, but the music and chemisty of this version was fun and well done. Nothing deep, this musical is basically a review, with very liitle book, but simply put it's cheesy music with equally toungue and cheek choreography. Collapse
