Statuesque blond beauty Elke Sommer opens a week long engagement at the Colonie Coliseum Summer Theatre as the naughty but nice female lead in the delightful musical "Irma La Douce" beginning this Tuesday evening. In the play in which Miss Sommer portrays the role of the rather tarnished sweetheart, she, plans to sing bilingually as the delightful French tart who wins not only the body, but the soul, of a poor French student.
Since making her American debut in "The Prize" with Paul Newman and Edward G. Robinson she has been hailed as an international celebrity and won starring roles in such favorites as "Shot in the Dark," "The Art of Love," and most recently, "They Came to Rob Las Vegas.”
The Cowsills, top recording stars for MGM records, will appear in concert on Monday at the coliseum. Composed of a nine member singing family, the group was launched in the mainstream of the national musical consciousness in June of 1967 when they released their first album "The Cowsills" which contained the groups first million seller, "The Rain, The Park and Other Things."
Tonight through Sunday will mark the final performances of Ann Corio's "This Was Burlesque" which has been at the summer.
