Too Many Divas to take stage for benefit show
By MICHELLE MILLER
Staff Writer
MILFORD — This Saturday
local singing group
Too Many Divas will take
the stage for a benefit show
for the Greater Milford Historical
Association.
According to diva Janet
Lampo, the show was
planned more on the spurof-
the-moment than most
of the Diva’s shows, but
said all the women are happy
and excited to be involved.
Fortunately, all but one
of us was available, she
said.
We have never done a
benefit quite like this so we
are not quite sure how
many people will turn out
for the event or what to expect,
said Lampo.
``It will be a surprise to
all of us,’’ she said.
The curtains will open
at 7:30 p.m. at the Susquehanna
Cultural Center on
Route 28 in Milford. The
show will be followed by a
dessert buffet.
Too Many Divas, which
has been a singing group
for five years, consists of
five women 50-years-old or
older. Performers include
Mary-Jo Merk, Carol Dean,
Michelle Gardner, Claudia
Koeppel and Lampo, all
who have some sort of involvement
in music and
theater.
Lampo said the group
has performed in locations
such as Oneonta and Fly
Creek. The Divas also do
conventions and are willing
to travel, according to Lampo.
According to
toomanydivas.com, the
women participate in celebrations
of all kinds including
fundraisers, holidays,
retirements, birthdays, anniversaries,
weddings, divorces,
class reunions,
roasts, luncheons and dinner
theatre.
Lampo said the group’s
performances typically feature
songs from the 40s,
50s, 60s and 70s with Motown
moves, madcap humor
and smooth harmonies.
However, she said the
group is working on a new
Broadway performance the
women hope to have up and
going by the New Year.
According to Lampo, she
and fellow her divas get together
to rehearse twice a
week. Each show is uniquely
designed according to
need, she said.
According to organizers,
Holiday songs will be added
to this show to celebrate
the season.
Information on the group
can be found at
toomanydivas.com. Reservations
for Saturday’s performance
can be made by
calling 286-7038 or 435-
4658.
Tickets are $15 for
adults and $5 for students
12 and under.
