I'm sorry to report that Mr. Reed's review is spot-on. The Puppini Sisters need to decide whether they want to be a legitimate act or a sideshow. My wife and I traveled from Kansas City to hear their debut at the Oak Room. Although the show had its entertaining moments, I, too, found the Keyhole song to be vulgar and certainly an anachronism for a group that relies so heavily on the Andrews Sisters for its popularity. Ultimately, as a lover of all things retro, I left feeling wistful about the unrealized potential of the group. They don't have to be locked in the past, but they ought to respect it. Right now, the group seems to be satisfied riding the crest of a wave that is likely to subside fairly quickly.
