They sold over 90 million records, nine of them gold. They had more Top
Ten hits than the Beatles or Elvis, and they are still one of the
best-selling female vocal groups of all time. Audiences understand why
when they see Sisters of Swing: The Story of the Andrews Sisters.
This book musical follows sisters LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty Andrews from
their early days on the road through their rise as recording stars to
entertaining American GIs overseas to dissembling over differences. The
score intermingles over twenty hit songs like "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon,"
"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." This
show goes beyond the ordinary to offer a unique perspective into these
women as human beings, showing how the events of their lives shaped who
they became to the rest of the world.
In its short interim, Sisters of Swing has charmed and sold-out to
audiences in Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Florida, Texas, Georgia,
Oregon, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
