There is no doubt that summer has finally arrived in Connecticut. But in case you had any doubts it is time to head down to Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven for some unforgettable summer fun. Opening this week is The Bikinis, a dancing in the aisles story of 4 ‘Jersey Girls’ who return to the limelight after a long hiatus.
In front of a live audience, The Bikinis relive their heyday and beyond, beginning the summer of 1964, the night these four inseparable girls got their name, winning the Belmar Beach Talent Contest, wearing their bikinis! The boardwalk was smitten with the 4 teens... Jodi and Annie, two sisters from Passaic New Jersey; Karla, their slightly manipulative first cousin from Philly; and best friend Barbara, from Staten Island. They are bringing back the sun, fun and all the great songs they sang down on the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore... all to raise money for the good folks at Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach Resort.
The Bikinis thought they’d long since hung up their two-pieces to dry, but this charity benefit brings them out of retirement for one last performance. True Jersey girls at heart, the buoyant quartet lights up their hometown boardwalk with bouncy, summery tunes such as “It’s In His Kiss,” “Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” “Heat Wave,” “Under The Boardwalk,” “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” and “It’s Raining Men.” Created and Written by Ray Roderick and James Hindman with Music Arrangements by Joseph Baker and Additional Music and Lyrics by Joseph Baker and Ray Roderick this show will have you dancing in the aisles and out to your cars.
The show runs July 9 - 27. So grab your beach blanket and head to Long Wharf for some summer fun! For tickets and information visit Long Wharf Theatre.
