Gatsby Era comes back to life at Roaring 20s-themed expo BY MARIA SONNENBERG When they were children, Emily “Gracie” Miller and her sister, Lacy, were fortunate to witness musical performances on the old Goldenrod showboat in St. Charles, Mo. It was love at first sight and sound. The siblings returned to St. Louis determined to replicate the wonderful show they had experienced. “We rented as many old movies as we could and learned all the songs, and we got bedsheets to use as curtains on our garage door and we put on a show on the driveway,” Gracie Miller said. “We called it ‘Broadway on the Driveway.’ It was so successful that the mayor eventually encouraged us to get off the driveway because so many people were stopping and disrupting traffic.” The girls shifted venues to arts centers and assembled a full orchestra and cast of as many as 90 young performers, until more and more requests started pouring in for their sister act. Twenty years ago, they went full time with “Gracie and Lacy,” which offers a variety of family-friendly themed shows that pay homage to the good old days. From their home base in Charleston, S.C., the duo travel up and down the East Coast to delight audiences with their tight harmony, retro costumes, tap dancing and the immortal music of the Great American Songbook.
