Grown out of American vaudeville, the variety show special of television's Golden Age — with the matching outfits, cotton candy and bubble color schemes, the countless celebrities and talents who broke in and "made it"and the endless stream of jaw-dropping musical performances — was where so many of our most vivid musical memories and dreams were born. In the spirit of this year's Festival theme, Masters and Muses, Michael Stone and Siri Vik, who are themselves among the “TV Generation” are delighted to resurrect this magical form and share with you some of the most exhilarating and inspiring music to us, and perhaps to you, too.

This show is offered twice the Festival, on Wednesday August 1st at 8 pm and Saturday August 11th at 1:30 pm (matinee).
