ABOUT
-----------

WELCOME to Spring Fling Season at the most romantic couple’s resort in the Poconos! Rest your feet after a long afternoon of sensual couple’s kayaking, cash your chips after a round of kinky bingo, and meet us in the lounge for the magic and mania of semi-celebrated American mezzo soprano Andréa Lloyd Webber and her intrepid accompanist, Yon Yonson phD (unaccredited). The diva will croon the classics, shriek some Steely Dan, and ruminate on monogamy, polyphony, and champagne jacuzzi towers. Poco-no? Poco-YES!!
