"Girl Singers of the Hit Parade"
What people had to say.......
"Girl Singers Have a Hit!!"
Margaret Ontl - Hudson Star Obsever
"Girl Singers" features terrific songs, great pacing, and fabulous voices. Our sold-out audiences loved this show."
John Potter - Executive Director - Phipps Center for the Arts
"Because I respected the work of Norton Lawellin, I booked THE GIRL SINGERS OF THE HIT PARADE into the Old Log. The audience and I were delighted with their performance. It was more than a concert, it was a show carefully put together with excellent musical arrangements, good choreography, and marvelous singing."
Don Stolz - Old Log Theater
"Little did I know when I bought my ticket for The Girl Singers, that I was going to see "A performance of a lifetime"... The 26 members of my chapter that attended can't wait to catch another performance!"
Queen Linda Glenn - Rowdy Red Hat Mamas
"A group of three of us from Voila! went to the Girl Singers Show and had a blast! It's not just for the person from that era; we were finding ourselves, laughing, tapping our toes and singing along. We'd really recommend the show to anyone!"
The Girls of Voila! Media Group
"Six couples attended the "Girl Singers of the Hit Parade". We were thrilled by the quality! Each and every member of our party raved about the show ... Bring it back!"
Milt Klohn - Author
"A special musical evening...a true joy to hear. Three cheers for your great music making!!!"
Don Betts - Concert Pianist
"I loved "Girl Singers!" I've been in the business for over 20 years and it's been a while since I've looked around an audience and seen so many people tapping their fingers and singing along. This collection of songs is a perfect collaboration of nostalgia and entertainment. As familiar as these songs and legendary singers are, it is good to be reminded how musically good they are. I had a wonderful time. I highly recommend seeing "Girl Singers"! "
Robyn Hart - Actress, Writer, Comedienne
"Girl Singers of the Hit Parade" is a thrilling, hilarious, and moving biographical revue about some of the last century's most influential female vocalists Ms. Raye's selection of pivotal songs (some well-known, some lesser-known) creates a perfect tribute to these amazing women and their lives. It is a reminder of their greatness and contribution to American Music."
Aaron Gabriel - Sabes JCC and Children’s Theatre, Minneapolis
"As a 64 year-old 'youngster', I read about the "Girl Singers" and was anxious to take a walk down memory lane... I wasn't disappointed...With high energy, beautiful voices... blending humor with interesting facts and events from the lives of the stars, they made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I asked my best buddy if he wanted to see the show ... (he's 4 years old). He was charmed by the sights and sounds, just like his grandpa. Take your teenager to see this show! Hip-hop and rap will never hold the same allure after they've experienced real music performed by real professionals. .... It's not just entertaining, it's fun. I'll be at the next show with my bowling team and my grandson,
Jack."
Gerry Deters (64) - Retired Computer Engineer
"Colleen Raye's tasteful song selections and Norton Lawellin's fresh arrangements and solid musical backing are a perfect match for the enthusiastic and pitch perfect singing of the ladies in this delightful show. You'll love it- I did!"
Marilyn Sellars - Singer, Entertainer and Recording Artist
"In my opinion the "Girl Singers" is one of the finest shows to come out of the Midwest in a long, long time. Fronted by four very talented women, they mesmerized the audience as they took them on a trip back to the 50's and down "memory lane". The show presents a tribute to five of the best female vocalists that ever sang in a microphone! Forget Elvis tributes! This show is romantic, funny, sentimental, sexy, educational and, very professional! I'll be contacting my clients regarding this show!"
Steve Swenson - Executive Producer - SMP Entertainment
