Ta-Dah!
1991 · Jacksonville Theatre Guild
Ta-Dah! was a vaudeville-style stage revue directed and choreographed by Ken Bradbury for the Jacksonville Theatre Guild, staged on August 13, 1991 — one of several vaudeville shows Ken mounted in the early 1990s. The recording opens on a brightly curtained stage with a "Ta-Dah!" backdrop, a live drummer, and a string of hand-lettered act cards introducing the numbers, in the spirit of an old-time variety bill. A full ensemble in white shirts and black trousers carries the song-and-dance numbers.
Two recordings of the same August 13, 1991 performance survive (one was filed in the archive simply as "Vaudeville '91"); both are preserved below.
