Pomona Majestic Theatre - Doors open 6:45pm for 7:30pm start.
A fabulous night to be had with the Doo Wop Dolls and many other guest performers. of course Santa will be there with his helpers. more details to come soon.
This Queens Birthday long weekend the Queen is back for the third of the now annual “Miss Melony Presents”. This year Miss Melony Presents – DooWop Drags. Once again Melony Brests headlines this fabulous cast featuring the return of her Powderpuff Girls, all of which are voiced by the wonderful DooWop Dolls. Then add Melony's resident Drag King to this diverse cast, and you have a musical unlike any other.
As the show unfolds...The Wop's sing the songs the Puff's lip-synch to. OK, that seems simple enough. But... just wait til the Puff's have to sing for the Wop's... and that's where the fun begins.
In a hysterical battle for lip-synch supremacy the Drags and the Dolls have a huge task ahead. Everyone will be throwing their voices, and changing a few words, or sentences here and there, just to toy, test and trick each other along this musical ride with songs spanning many decades. All while trying not to burst into fits of laughter themselves. Will the Dolls out-do the Drags, or will the Queens rein supreme?
