The tinsel-strewn sequel to "The Taffetas!" It's Christmas in Muncie, Indiana, and The Dumont Television Network is featuring the bright-eyed and bubbly 1950s girl group The Taffetas on its weekly show "Hometown Hoedown." Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl, and Donna dish out a collection of favorites from the original Off-Broadway hit "The Taffetas," as well as effervescent holiday songs and medleys. These four young sisters take us on a nostalgic trip to the '50s as they share their favorite Christmas songs and holiday memories. The Taffetas sing for the studio audience and home viewers some of the hits that made the '50s music so precious, including "Sugartime" and "Sincerely" as well as holiday classics like "Santa Baby" and "White Christmas." "A Taffeta Christmas" is a twinkling hometown holiday -- the way it used to be!

The production was written and arranged by Rick Lewis. Dan Murphy will direct and choreograph the Broadway Rose production, with musical direction by Jeffrey Childs. The creative team also includes Gene Dent (Scenic Designer), Brynne Oster-Bainnson (Costume Supervisor), Phil McBeth (Lighting Designer), Sharath Patel (Sound Designer), Cecily Medanes (Prop Designer), Jane Holmes (Wig Designer), and Jessica Downs (Production Stage Manager).
