THE QUEEN OF THE BEEHIVES

The Fabulous Singlettes are a three-woman musical celebration of some of the greatest hits of the 60's & 70's. Make no mistake, this playful post-modern pre-feminist work comes complete with two of the original Singlettes; originator Naomi Eyers ("As she moved through the crowd singing 'I Love How You Love Me', four men in my row fainted." Peter Wilmoth, The Age) and Mel McCaig ("Powerful and sassy performer" Sydney Morning Herald) are joined by a graduate of The Fabulous Singlettes School of Charm, Melissa Langton. 

Together they sing up a storm, plus of course dance moves to die for, frocks galore and beehives that are a triumph of hairspray over gravity. But it's the impeccable harmonies and sly, camp humour that have made this mega-girl group a hit all over Australia and the UK. 

Naomi Eyers, Mel McCaig and Melissa Langton neatly exhume the bodies of a glorious era that had most of America's women performers staggering under the weight of hair-dos and lashing of mascara. And though we may have forgotten some of the names of the girls groups, the songs stay with us forever. Songs of pure pop, celebrating innocence, love, life and above all boys. Songs of longing and desire and the promise of living happily ever after with one true love - provided of course he doesn't end up being pulled from a motor bike wreck - tragedy is never far away in some of the girl group songs. Some of the most romantic, tragic and heart breaking girl group songs are in the show, including 'It's In His Kiss', 'Do Wah Diddy', 'Where The Boys Are', 'Leader Of The Pack' and 'I Only Wanna Be With You'. 

Then The Fabulous Singlettes jump head long into the disco era of the 70's - when pop music meant ABBA and the age of innocence was already being subverted by anthems such as the sexual knowing LaBelle's 'Lady Marmalade' and Helen Reddy's 'I Am Woman'.
