THE POINTER SISTErs began their formal vocal training in their father’s church in West Oakland, California. They went on to achieve Lworldwide fame and have secured a place in pop music history as a dynamic female group. Their 1973 debut album went gold and the following year the sisters released That’s A Plenty, an album that included a bona-fide country-western tune, “Fairytale,” written by the sisters. As a result, the sisters became the first black female group to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Their 1983 album, Break Out, served as more than just a title, it’s exactly what the sisters did. Upon its release, Stereo Review called the new album “the Pointer Sisters at their sassiest, brassiest, up-tempo best.” That album produced the mega- hits “Neutron Dance,” “I’m So Excited,” “Automatic,” and “Jump (For My Love).” Break Out went triple-platinum and earned the sisters two Grammy’s as well as two American Music Awards. The Reflexx: Opening for The Pointer Sisters LMV welcomes Orange County’s own THE REFLEXX, an 80’s New Wave tribute band.

  • SUPREME REFLECTIONS a Loving Tribute to the Music of Diana Ross & the Supremes and Motown
    SUPREME REFLECTIONS A Loving Tribute To The Music Of Diana Ross & The Supremes and Motown SUPREME REFLECTIONS is a loving tribute to the most famous female singing group of all time, THE SUPREMES! This sparkling trip down Motown’s memory lane is written and directed by Motown producer and creative consultant George Solomon and award- winning producer/director Michael Chapman with choreography by Paul Holmquist. The Tony Award winning Broadway hit DREAMGIRLS, which was loosely based on The Supremes, went on to become an Oscar winning film. Whereas DREAMGIRLS presented new music, we present the original, familiar classic hits and the true story of the actual SUPREMES. Baby Love, Stop! In The Name Of Love, You Can't Hurry Love, Love Child... You'll love, love, love this stylish, fun and informative musical gem! You may remember where you were when you first heard, Where Did Our Love Go, Come See About Me, Someday We’ll Be Together or Ain’t No Mountain High Enough. Artists who have followed in their footsteps like The Pointer Sisters, Whitney Houston, Vanessa Williams and some of today’s superstars like Beyoncé and the Pussycat Dolls have been influenced by Diana Ross and The Supremes. You’ll see why Oprah Winfrey credits The Supremes as her inspiration and why the Guinness Book Of World Records has declared Diana Ross the most popular female vocalist of all time! The ladies in our cast, Wendy Edmead, Tai Lewis and Marianne Lewis, are multi- talented and have each performed in scores of musicals and television shows. They are young but possess the dynamic qualities of the classic entertainers from another generation.
