The Vaudevillians at Rose Theatre Brampton

This is the story of vaudeville ... from its early beginnings, to entertaining the troops and through its ultimate demise with the advent of movies. It is told, through skits and music, by three vaudevillians near the end of their careers. They share memories and take the audience on a trip down memory lane, re-enacting the shows they once did, in an effort to prove they still have what it takes to be stars. The show borrows music and sketches from music hall, gypsy and minstrel shows. Old favourites, such as “Ma, He’s Making Eyes at Me” and original music written for the show, make this sure-fire entertainment for audiences of all ages.
