ANDREA LLOYD WEBBER: LIVE! AT PARADISE STREAM at Dixon Place

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Semi-celebrated American Mezzo Soprano Andréa Lloyd Webber (no relation) and her comrade in arms, musical portmantologist Yon Yonson, phD (unaccredited) can normally be found treading the boards and crooning the classics in the Big Apple. But during Valentine’s season, spring fling season, high summer, fall foliage season, and winter ski season, they are the resident entertainers at PARADISE DREAM, the most romantic couples resort in the Poconos, and home of the heart shaped whirlpool bath for two.

With original music, naughty jokes, and some very important updates on the daily operations of the hotel (Paradise Dream is not responsible for any injuries sustained at the wheel during the Tantric Pottery Workshop), Andréa and Yon careen through an evening of songs, schtick, and sensuality in the honeymoon capital of the world.
