When I hear the words side show, I think of a carnival or a circus and all the freaky, crazy attractions you'd see, such as the "bearded lady" or "strongest man" or "the girl with two heads."

Patti Page was a trailblazer. She pioneered overdubbing in 1947 by singing duets and quartets with herself. She was the best selling female artist of the 1950s and sold 100 million records.

FLIPSIDE received 18 awards at the Kennedy Center National Theater Festival in 2011 including outstanding musical and outstanding performance by an actress for Haley Jane Pierce. Tickets for this one-night only performance tonight, November 16 at 8:00 p.m. at The Grand 1894 Opera House.

FLIPSIDE: THE PATTI PAGE STORY is taking to the road. In anticipation of the production's Texas stops, I chatted with writer and director Greg White about the show. He explains, 'It's not a revue. It's her story,' and that the show itself is 'funny and very poignant.' He also told me that the show has a little something for everyone. After all, 'they call Patti [Page] Country-politan. She was one of the first crossover artists that did country, jazz, and pop. Believe it or not she did some R&B. Patti did everything.'
