SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE (Weisman Community Center- Delary Beach)
* SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE.
Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats caught the musical-comedy Sophie, Totie & Belle at the Weisman Community Center in Delray Beach and I gotta tell you that we had an absolutely terrific time.
The show which -stars Stefanie Genovese as Sophie Tucker, Stefanie Lamay as Belle Bart, Christie Oliver as Totie Fields with Gary Waldman playing all-of the male characters is the story of a “meeting” of the show-biz legends- in Heaven’s Waiting Room! Some real nice singing, joke “telling” and biographical info made the 2 hour and 15 minute show (includes 15 minute intermission) literally fly by. Just between Jeff Eats and you guys, trying to “impersonate” three legendary-stars is a real tough task- that said, Stefanie, Stefanie & Christie did a nice job in their portrayals. All three actresses, gave the audience enough a “taste” as to why Sophie, Totie & Belle warrant a show about their careers in the first place. Gary Waldman did a great job playing various “male” characters in the lives of Sophie, Totie & Belle. Finally, Jeff Eats would be remiss not mentioning pianist Mark Galsky- who is the glue of the production!
Go see the show!
You ‘ll enjoy it!

Got a something real good for you guys…
SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE which is set to run at the Weisman Delray Community Center, 7091 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33446 (561) 558-2100 from April 10th-May 31st…
Years ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw the Fort Lauderdale production of- SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE and I gotta tell you that this Musical Comedy was an absolute home-run!
Jeff Eats knows that casts-change…so we’ll have to see how 2015’s does- BUT- based on the “script” alone, I’m thinking this is gonna be a real good-one!
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna pick up- a pair of tickets…
Jeff,
Nice seeing you and Mrs. Jeff Eats at the show.
My husband and I enjoyed the show. We thought that the Totie actress gave the most convincing portrayal. Unless our hearing is off, we heard a Boston accent on Belle which in our minds threw the character way off. Really enjoyed Sophie but the actress playing the part way too thin.
All in all a fun and entertaining evening.
Jeff, a number of years ago I asked a friend if he wanted to come see a Frank Sinatra show. He told me “No”. I asked why not. He said,’ I saw a guy imitate him once and he was terrible”.
PS This is so old the first time I heard it, it was about Eddie Cantor.
Jeff,
Saw the show.
Had an enjoyable evening.
The only lady who even came close was Totie.
