...). The plot is apparently based on one of Moliere's farces (as a set of singers labelled the Andrews Sisters and singing in a similar style to that group tell us), but you get little idea of it from the disc, so the show may well have worked much better on stage than it does here. The tinkling overture soon gets boring, regardless of how many pianos are actually playing, and the first track, the 'Andrews Sisters' singing Mister Moliere, doesn't exactly inspire the listener with enthusiasm, despite some skilful harmony singing.

Advantages happy, boppy, poppy, retro cool

The puppinis are obviously very talented and very musical - I've seen them sing live and they are fantastic - but what makes this fantastic is the song choices. They are all cover versions and range from traditional wartime americana such as "boogie woogie bugle boy" and "in the mood" to more contemporary covers such as "wuthering heights", "heart of glass" and an amazing cover of the smiths "panic"; all in the style of the Andrew's sisters. It is all very cute, stylish and retro and definitely well worth a listen if you haven't heard of them. They have a new album out now which has an amazing version of beyonce's crazy in love...they just get more bonkers!... Read review

"drinking rum and cola----- I could be in the background dancing the rumba with John Travolta. It is so funny when the parrots say, "Juice me" 4. If you had to make clothes out of a food, what would it be, and why? Tripe. It is good and thick. Definitely not see-through. This season's neutral shades It would be highly original. 6.
