Both of us Bride at 35 girls are big fans of the classic oldies sing-a-longs - we're still swooning over Darlene Love's girl group-tastic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" performance from "The Late Show With David Letterman"`last week (That woman has to have an aging picture hidden in her closet, because I think she looks younger every year).
Which is why "A Taffeta Wedding" caught Leslie's eye. OK, the fact that this play, happening down her neck of the woods in Coral Springs, has the word "wedding" in the title has something to do with it too (Them things are on the brain, you know), It's about a sister act girl group called The Taffetas, who marry the four members of a doo-wop group called the Cardigans (also, incidentally, the name of the Swedish pop group that sings "Love Fool," Lynne's karaoke jam).
The play, a musical review with all your favorites of bobby soxed yesteryear ("Sh-Boom," "Do You Wanna Dance," the slightly culturally tin-eared but pleasantly catchy "Running Bear"), runs through Jan. 16 at the Broward Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs.

Go be cultured!
