Knickerbocker Glory! is a fantastically entertaining cabaret show presented by The Sundaes, a trio of ladies whose main shtick is that they are bigger than life, literally. Don’t let any stereotype about size fool you, the Sundaes are even bigger and better in talent and comedy.
The Sundaes open the night by swaggering out onto the stage in glittering sequin covered mermaid dresses for a lovely rendition of ‘Dreamgirls.’ Their frozen yogurt swirl shaped wigs with waffle cone sticking out of the side stand at least a foot higher than their own heads. They appropriately are in red, yellow, and brown tones: Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate, respectively, that make up this Neapolitan delight. The Sundaes may not be everyone’s favourite flavour, sometimes they feel like an over-the-top drag act - except they are women. They are still enjoyable nonetheless.
All three of the Sundaes belt like they are biggest and best diva in the spotlight, and they often fight with each other to maintain the limelight for themselves. Their renditions of pop songs from the 60s, 70s, and beyond are highly entertaining and beautifully performed. You will recognize many, if not all of the songs, including 'Stop in the Name of Love,' ‘Shout,’ and The Pointer Sisters’ ‘Jump.’ Their medley of songs dedicated to the singing divas of the 90s: Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston, is chillingly marvelous in all the right ways.
When the ladies strip down to their very own Knickerbocker Glory for the finale – that is the true sundae. I don’t want to give away the surprise, but this song alone is 100% worth the ticket price. They are delicious!
