THE FOUR FRESHMEN & LESLEY GORE
Saturday, February 14, 2009
8 pm
$40

The Four Freshmen brightened radios and records in the 1950s with their distinctive vocals (It’s a Blue World, Graduation Day, Day by Day).
Today’s frosh lineup preserves and enhances the original Freshmen’s smooth harmonies. Lesley Gore, the most successful “girl artist” of the 1960s, continues the memories on this special night. Her chart-topping hits (It’s My Party, Judy’s Turn to Cry, You Don’t Own Me) became anthems for generations of young women. It’s a Valentine’s Day that promises to be full of nostalgia and romance.

“The Four Freshmen play with a blending of voices that carry a myriad of memories.”
– The Palm Beacher

“Lesley Gore is back. And this time, it really is her party!” – Philadelphia Inquirer
