It is a fun-filled musical comedy that deals with the rise of rock and roll and how it was accepted by young and old. It is full of funny fifties music such as “Monster Mash”, “Purple People Eater”, “Charlie Brown”, “See You Later Alligator”, and many other comedy songs. It has some beautiful songs full of nostalgia as “Only You”, “Blueberry Hill”, “The Great Pretender”, “Mona Lisa” and others. The Rockerettes will be dancing to the times of the season of the 50’s.

The Frisky Fifties” show will be performed at the Ursuline Arts Center, 3113 Lexington Road, Louisville KY 40206 with 2:00 p.m. matinees on Thursday through Sunday, September 29th through October 2nd.

Auditions for those 60 years or older will be held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday July 12th in the student center of Hikes Point Christian Church, 2601 Hikes Lane, Louisville, KY 40218. Please come prepared to sing a 16 measure piece of up-tempo music, accompanied by either a karaoke-track on a CD, or a music score marked for the 16 measures to be played by our accompanist. Please be encouraged to join us, as we need not only singers and actors, as well as backstage helpers and front of house support.
