The charming Bettye and the Jockettes Spinning Records at the Holiday Inn is a fictional story about an all-female radio station sprinkled with bits of actual history. For instance, such a radion station really existed, and it was run out of a Holiday Inn as in the show. Of course, it is unknown whether the actual employees of the station were as amusing an assortment of characters.  

An extremely well-chosen cast exquisitely portrays the delightfully quirky array of characters that inhabit the play. However, special mention must be made of Tracey Beltrano, who is particularly funny in the role of Esther.  It is impossible not to smile as you literally watch her spin out of a room.

The show is full of lovely nostalgia and generous doses of humor. It is also heartwarming and full of great family vibes. All in all, it's pure joy.

And that's our view.  For more about Bettye and the Jockettes Spinning Records at the Holiday Inn or to purchase tickets. visit www.retroproductions.org/home.html
