Catchy melodies with a glass of bubbles

Epsom Village residents loved the performance by the Madeleines Trio last Wednesday at the Lounge. The trio, originally from New Zealand, has worked internationally in musical theatre (West End, Hong Kong & Melbourne). With the Covid pandemic, they decided to return home and now they’re showcasing their talent all around New Zealand. They specialize in singing popular songs from the 1920-1950s, complete with beautiful costumes and choreography.

Residents enjoyed a glass of bubbles with the performance, and they were very soon following the melodies with big smiles and a bit of toe tapping.
