Laguna Woods Village

Yesterday, The Sassy Songbirds made an appearance at Laguna Woods Village Director's meeting. Laguna Woods is a gated, active community choice for Southern California Independent Resort Style Living, and we were the afternoon entertainment! We performed a thirty minute show for all the Directors of Laguna Woods' many clubs and organizations and we have already gotten a few inquiries for future Gigs!

One of the most exciting aspects of this performance was our NEW DRESSES!!! Unique Vintage in Burbank specializes in period-style dresses and they even had a couple of their dresses worn to The Golden Globes which is why they had apparently filmed with Access Hollywood last week! We were pretty resourceful in finding these dresses and when the store didn't have the correct size and color, we took matters in our own hands and visited the warehouse ourselves!

But, back to our show yesterday! :) Our selection of songs was spot on and there was at least one person singing along to every song we sang. There was even a gentleman in front who sang along with "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma! Our songs included:

"Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"
"I'll Be Seeing You"
"I Could Have Danced All Night"
"My Favorite Things"
"The Trolley Song"
"If I Loved You"
"Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair"
"I Can't Say No"
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
"Sisters"

Like we mentioned earlier, we already have inquiries for future gigs, so we'll keep everyone updated on those and keep posting our pictures and videos. Below is a video of "Diamond's Are Girl's Best Friend"....

Sunrise at San Marino!!

We were very excited to perform our first Broadway themed concert for the residents and family members of the San Marino Sunrise! It was a true pleasure entertaining the seniors - they were a lovely audience. It was heartwarming to see their eyes light up as they recognized songs from their childhood and teenage years.

Musical theater history was our favorite class in college so we had a blast deciding what songs to sing. Known as the "Golden Age" of Broadway, we decided to concentrate on the classics - Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe, Kander & Ebb, and more! Our duets included "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" from South Pacific (1949), "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music (1965), and "If Momma Was Married" from Gypsy (1959). The audience swooned as Kristen soared in the emotional, "If I Loved You" from Carousel (1945) and a special guest star resembling Toto appeared right when Alexis was singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (Wizard of Oz, 1939.) What timing!!

The hour show went by in a flash and we were humbled to receive glorious praise from the residents and the staff. One care-giver said, "You're really singing 'their' music. This is the music of their time." We were happy to hear that our music selection really touched our audience. Thank you San Marino Sunrise!! We look forward to next time!
