Hilarious Musical Comedy!

Há uns dias postei um delicioso video de umas senhoras inglesas chamado Cheap Flights. Na altura postei porque achei espectacular e agora fiz uma pesquisa e encontrei a fonte. É uma comédia Musical do grupo Fascinating Aida e já está em DVD. Por norma não faço publicidades mas tenho a certeza que esta vale a pena pela amostra... O DVD está sem dúvida na minha wish list.
Aqui fica o link e a Biografia do grupo (perdoem-me mas não tenho paciência para traduzir):

Fascinating Aida was founded in March 1983 by Dillie Keane, along with Marilyn Cutts and Lizzie Richardson. The members have varied frequently, but the lasting two have been Dillie Keane and Adele Anderson, who joined the group in 1984. The trio started performing in a West End wine bar, but they soon caught the media attention, and performed on television for the first time in July 1983.

Over the years, they gained a growing fanbase and national popularity, earning three Laurence Olivier Awards nominations for Best Entertainment in 1995 and 2000. They were voted Most Popular Act 1985 by City Limits magazine and also earned a Perrier Comedy Award nomination. The group broke up in 1989 and was subsequently reformed in 1994, and performed for a further ten years, releasing a number of albums, before breaking up again in 2004. Their final show, One Last Flutter, ran from 13 November to 6 December 2003 at the Comedy Theatre in London, when original member Marilyn Cutts joined the group for one last time. When asked in a 2006 interview if the One Last Flutter show in December 2003 had been the groups last ever show, Dillie Keane responded, "It might be! I don’t know! I’m not being deliberately obscure – it depends if I fancy it and I don’t at the moment." Since then she stated on the welcome page on the Fascinating Aida official website that "Next year will be our 25th anniversary so we really want to do a new show to celebrate." The page was recently updated to give information about the performances and locations.

The group wrote songs for radio and television programmes such as Stop the Week, After Hours, People Like Us and TV-am. The group were the subject of several BBC documentaries. All the current members are also established actresses, mainly in musical theatre. Dillie Keane is also a writer, having written a column in The Stage magazine for ten years, and written two books, The Joy of Sequins in 1995 and Fascinating Who? in 1985. Keane says she now spends her time "juggling acting, caberet and writing". The group have an official mascot - a pure bred Irish setter called Dillie, born in 1999.
