THE 1950s: It’s the beginning of rock n’ roll, the racial barrier begins to crack, the Korean War is over, and husbands are returning home. Ronald Reagan is a model for Lifebuoy Soap and Rock Hudson is “the World’s Most Eligible Bachelor.”
And women are getting antsy.
Meet Joan, Connie, Dottie, and Agnes. Four best friends living in Winnetka, IL. They meet every Wednesday for a Betty Crocker cooking contest, imagining how the prizes might change their lives. Their weekly gathering isn’t just about cooking, but a time to confide secrets and share frustrations.
Usually, it’s LIFE Magazine that’s read cover to cover in between mixing, sifting, and chopping. However, a different kind of reading material arrives. Shocked but inspired by the Kinsey report, their lives take an interesting turn.
A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME is a fabulously fun romp tracing the changing lives of these four Winnetka women from the 1950s to the sexual revolution of the 1960s. This homage to prior generations of women who blazed new trails features a rollicking original score of ‘50s and ‘60s music with great harmonies, all backed by an all-female rock n’ roll band.
Come join the journey of empowerment as these four women discover their own unimaginable, bold new future!
We had great seats, but I don’t think there would be a bad seat in the Venue! Sound was good, acting & singing was great, we enjoyed it immensely!
Awesome show! You will be either nostalgic or shocked!
My partner and I LOVED this show. The four women were amazing! So talented and overall very empowering and validating :)
My group of four all were very disappointed. The content went too far with vulgar actions and language. We left at intermission. Too bad the acting was good.
I loved the music and everything else in between! Definitely would see it again, highly recommend!
We had excellent seats, although there were no bad seats at this venue. The show was so funny. Every woman should see this!
Was fun. Catchy songs. Convenient & parking validation
The actors were so talented and the show was delightful and funny.
Very well written and energetically performed. The four ladies in 1957 remind us of life "back then," and their mostly new lives in 1967 show us how important the changes were. This is a positive message about each person's value (regardless of gender) and their need to become the best "themselves" they can be. Lots of insights and laughs without bashing or excuses. We loved it.
This was a most enjoyable blast from the 50's that takes us on a beautiful musical trip down memory lane with 4 lives that are separate but equal in their struggle to find themselves as women with meaningful lives. It's wonderful how they come together as friends amidst their political views in the end.....
