You have got to see this event. I loved this event and would attend again. The seat I had was right in front so I could see and hear everything. So what if the singers are not the ones you think - they still are so good.
Very entertaining,VIP seats are not needed, this is a small venue. Every song was fabulous and very professionaly performed. I enjoyed myself immensely. Thanks Gold Star....
I saw the show when it was the Coasters Platters, and Drifters...liked it better. It seemed there were a lot more songs sung. The Platters were too "stylized?" this time and did not sing the songs like the original Platters. But I did enjoy the lead singer's voice.
The Marvelettes??? Just what connection was there??
