Lynne had sung with Susan in “Accolade”
for nine years so she was invited to jump into the experiment. Well… this decision was a no-brainer, but Lynne agreed to sing with Sue again anyway. From the first rehearsal in December 2001 the quartet realized they could polish off more new music and bowls of popcorn than any quartet they had ever sung with… and those numbered in the several. This foursome has found a match of free spirits who enjoy each other and love creating stand up comedy performed in four-part harmony. We invite you to sit back and laugh with Novelty Shop.
The Quartet
“Novelty Shop” has become a dream come true for four former Sweet Adeline Regional quartet champs looking for the true meaning of life…. set to music. First there was the zany Sally Burns, tenor of “New Review”, who had always wanted to sing with Susan Gleason, the hilarious loose cannon lead singer of “Accolade”. Then along came Cindy Gazetti, the classy closet-comedian and lead of “Harmonix” who had ALSO always wanted to sing with Susan and was willing to switch to baritone to do it. Last, there was bass Lynne Peirce, currently quartetless.
If you’re in the mood to laugh and hear some great harmony… you’re shopping in the right place! Since 2001, Novelty Shop has become a favorite everywhere (well, maybe not EVERYWHERE… they won’t be in Toledo until November…) and they have been laughed at by some of the greatest audiences anywhere. Including each and every one of you! Just wait and we’ll prove it. Just the mention of “Novelty Shop” stirs the imagination. Who will they be today? Will lead Susan Gleason remember all of the words? Will tenor Sally Burns find some creative new way to disguise her pitch pipe? Will baritone Cindy Gazetti look anything less than young, cute and skinny? Will bass Lynne Peirce be able to keep the others in line? Here are the answers: Maybe. Yes. No. Not a chance. They’ll let you figure out the order. So feel free to laugh at and with Novelty Shop. And we dare you to figure out who to watch.
