Bailey Campanini part of 'The Cherry Sisters Revisited' performance at William Woods University

2013 May 19

The theatre department at William Woods University recently performed the true story of sisters whose ambition, gumption and good heart led them to Broadway, despite their lack of talent.

Bailey Campanini of Camdenton, Mo., was Lizzie in "The Cherry Sisters Revisited."

The Cherry Sisters' dreams of Vaudeville took them from their Iowa barn to Broadway, where their inept acrobatics and tone-deaf caterwauling continually sold out, bringing them fame-and a barrage of rotten cabbages.

Two performances featured shadow interpreters- interpreters in costume, interacting with the actors.
