John Goss<\/a> grew up listening to Kevin Kline, laughing at Dick Van Dyke and admiring the moves of Fred Astaire. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe way he danced,\u201d Goss said. \u201cThere will never be another Fred Astaire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since opening the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue<\/a> over a decade ago, Goss and his fellow vaudevillians have entertained residents and tourists with songs, comedy skits and upbeat dance numbers at the dinner theater show.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe use everything \u2013 rhythms, music, wacky stuff, audience participation, lights, colors,\u201d Goss said. \u201cIt\u2019s that creativity that I think I am most proud of. And, that came from a lot of those early vaudeville performers and dancers.\u201d  <\/p>\n

The Glenwood Vaudeville Revue\u2019s Holiday Show opens Friday with plenty of fresh material but also popular numbers from years past. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it\u2019s the winter season we get a lot more locals,\u201d Goss said.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the Holiday Show digs in on comical Glenwood amenities that tourists encounter also.<\/p>\n

Enter roundabouts.   <\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s a semi getting caught up in the middle of it; whether it\u2019s people trying to walk across to get to the pool,\u201d Goss said of the endless roundabout scenarios. \u201cIt is by far the biggest hit we\u2019ve had in a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Holiday Show incorporates past hits like the roundabout, it also features cartoon character rap battles, a number on emotional support animals and parodies of classic holiday tunes. <\/p>\n

According to Goss, the family-friendly show features 19 different numbers but does steer away from one topic. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe really try to stay clear of politics,\u201d Goss said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, while the vast majority of the Holiday Show provokes laughter, it has its slower moments, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery show we have one nice number,\u201d Goss said. \u201cIt\u2019ll put shivers down your back.\u201d<\/p>\n

After slowing things down briefly, it does not take long before the vaudevillians have the audience howling again.<\/p>\n

And, in true vaudeville fashion, the Holiday Show does not follow a linear storyline but instead incorporates a melting pot of comical numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like a melodrama. It\u2019s not a play. It\u2019s not a Broadway musical,\u201d Goss said of the show, which does not rely on much improvisational humor either. \u201cThe term vaudeville means a variety show of many different acts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Holiday Show runs from Friday to Jan. 4. <\/p>\n

Doors open at 6 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows and at 5 p.m. for Sunday performances. <\/p>\n

Due to popular demand, shows have already been added for Christmas Eve and News Year\u2019s Eve. <\/p>\n

Additionally, the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue, located at 915 Grand Ave., offers cuisines from local restaurants in addition to a full bar. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe main show itself is less than two hours,\u201d Goss said. \u201cWe have a preshow ahead of time, where we do [food and drink] service then. So, you can look at it as a three-hour night.\u201d<\/p>\n
