Photo Flash: THE BIKINIS Relive Their Heyday in Westchester

You've heard of the Jersey Boys? Welcome the "Jersey Girls" to Westchester! It's the summer of 1964, and four inseparable friends form a girl group called The Bikinis, win a talent contest, and make it to the top! Now, many years and a few pounds later The Bikinis reunite for a show filled with sun and fun and all the great songs they sang on the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore. Join them as they relive their heyday and put on a show that promises to get everyone dancing in the aisles!

Ray Roderick and James Hindman conceived and wrote this musical, based on a true story, about a one-hit-wonder 1960s girl group whose members come back together two decades later. These "Jersey Girls" perform in a non-stop celebration of song with over 30 hits like "It's In His Kiss," "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," "Heat Wave," "I'm Every Woman", "I Will Survive," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and many more! The Bikinis are irresistible! You'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll do the limbo!

Starring: JoAnna Young as Jodi, Karyn Quackenbush as Karla, Katy Blake as Annie and Anne Fraser Thomas as Barbara. Elise Holman will understudy the roles.

The production is directed and choreographed by Ray Roderick. The Musical Director is Dan Pardo and the Lighting Designer is Jamie Roderick.
