Know Theatre of Cincinnati Hosts The Manhattan Dolls

Know Theatre of Cincinnati has announced the one-night only performance of The Manhattan Dolls in Know Theatre's Underground cabaret space. The Manhattan Dolls are a New York City based 1940s swing-style female vocal trio with the sound of The Andrews Sisters. Started by former USO Girls, The Dolls travel the world performing for military events, air shows, award ceremonies, parades, jazz clubs, and concert series. Their international tour now brings them to Know Theatre for their review, Sentimental Journey, on August 28th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15.

The Manhattan Dolls receive acclaim and praise wherever they go, whether it's "exceeding expectations" in New Jersey or "banishing the blues" in Arizona. The show features Heather Dispensa, Sheila Coyle, and 2005 Northern Kentucky University graduate and Cincinnati native Sarah Drake. "I'm always thrilled to come back home to perform." says Drake, "All the familiar faces in the audience make the experience that much better." Drake's most recent local performance was in 2010's I Love a Piano with Commonwealth Theatre Company.

From the Manhattan Doll's website, "Hop aboard the Chattanooga Choo Choo and join The Manhattan Dolls on a Sentimental Journey through the great music of the 30s and 40s. Sit back and enjoy these timeless classics, or if you're In the Mood get up and dance! Sentimental Journey blends beautiful ballads with your favorite toe-tapping tunes, and of course, in classic USO fashion, takes some time to honor our brave men and women in the military. From boogie woogie to the blues, Sentimental Journey celebrates the best the great American songbook has to offer."

Tickets are $15 and may be purchased online at www.knowtheatre.com in advance or at the door.
