Cryan, from Winnipeg, is a music theatre graduate as well as an accomplished pianist, Waytowich has always had a love for singing and acting. Her earliest musical recollection was pesching atop a hay stack singing excerpts from The Sound of Music to the con- tented cattle below She wrote I Can Sing! (Can't I?) as her Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts project to graduale from music at Lakehad University. Rhoda _ "They take the audience through a singing lesson and a music history lesson, but they're just loony" Waytowich says of the sisters. "Part of the premise is to show how musi- cians have to work together." lvanka and Manuela are national heroes from the fic- tional country of Slobjev. These two zany "identical" twm sts- ters, dressed in fashionable polyester and cat's eye glasses, are introducing Canadians everywhere to their ethnic folk music and taking Slobjevian humor to new heights. With much added participation from the audience, the escapades of lvanka, a cheery and self-pro- claimed opera diva, will have you splitting your sides from the laughter. The twins whisk the audi- ence along on a 'behind-the- scenes' look at the life of a singer. Plenty of music and singing, list-paced action and a mile-a-minute patter all make for an evening of soul-liberate ing hilarity! Waytowich plays the role of lvanka Voytovich, a domineer- ing opera diva who sports an incredible wardrobe in poly- ester and plastic. Rhoda Cryan plays the role of lvankak silent twin sister. She aspires to be as big a singing sensation as her twin, but settles for a backseat role with plenty of upstaging!
