Claudettes deliver holiday cheer By P.J. GLISSON [email protected] IRONWOOD – Excited patrons of the Historic Iron- wood Theatre packed the house for Saturday night’s annual Claudette Christmas show, during which they were clapping and cheering even before the acts began. Even musical director George Ackerman-Behr, who offered a pre-show warm-up by playing organ tunes such as “Winter Wonderland,” received cries of “We love you!” The Claudettes began the show by applying their jazzy dance skills to pop Christmas tunes, which eventually allowed for Santa Claus to run down one of the theatre SOUTH aisles, shouting “Ho, Ho, Ho!” before joining the ladies WEST onstage. Throughout the evening, the ladies also performed sev- eral other numbers, including a reindeer dance and glitzy routines set to fun holiday tunes, including “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The audience could not have loved them more. Overall, the evening pro- vided an extravaganza of tal- ent, with dancers, singers and musicians of all ages perform- ing anything from Christmas pop to Christian classics. A special treat came in the P.J. Glisson/Daily Globe way of Miles Mykkanen, an AS THE stars of Saturday night’s “Oh What Fun!” show at the Historic Ironwood Theatre, the Claudettes show their predictable style.

Claudette members include Becky Bogaczyk, Joyce Gayan, Andrea Harri- son, Angie Lauzon and Karen Mallum. The final member, Cindy Franck, also directed the entire show with help from assistant Judy Holst. In addition, Sue Pallin and Deb Leonard filled in as able guest members during the Claudettes’ popular “March of P.J. Glisson/Daily Globe the Toy Soldiers” routine. SANTA and Mrs. Claus, played respectively by Greg Gasman and chief choreographer Claudia Panosso, had no end of adorable backup dancers during Saturday night’s “O What Fun!” show at the Historic Ironwood Theatre. In one routine, Santa’s “Ho, Ho” changed to “Oh, Oh” when Mrs. Claus caught him with Beth Bordner, who was singing the sultry song “Santa Baby.” HIT — page 5 NFC TEAM LOGOS 091011: Team and helmet logos for NFC DECORATINGThese logos WORKSHOP are provided toMercer you Candy for Cane eventuse draws in festivean crowdeditorial By P.J.
