Lucky Penny plans ‘In the Mood’ virtual concert
“In the Mood” will be a virtual concert featuring popular songs from the 1930s through today.
The show will be available for viewing online starting Friday.
“In the Mood” will feature the musical talents of four women who were cast in Lucky Penny’s production of “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” which was scheduled for live performances this month but has been postponed until next spring.
“We didn’t want everyone to miss out on hearing these great vocalists,” Artistic Director Taylor Bartolucci said in a press release. “So we came up with the idea for this show and we asked the singers to choose some songs they wanted to do. We have a great mix of standards and more contemporary music, too.”
