Making their way from Minneapolis to the flashing lights of Broadway in the 1930s, experience the story of the remarkable Kim Loo Sisters. Starting at a young age this quartet gained popularity during the swing era and performed across the country, on the silver screen of Hollywood, and overseas at USO shows. This new musical is an homage to family, love, their Chinese and Polish American heritage, and the bond of these talented sisters through their lives on and off the stage. 

An homage to a real family's bond, their Chinese-Polish American heritage, and the swinging music of the 1930s.
