Description Show us ya Toddas! Is an exquisite musical evening of high glamour and drama as Yorta Yorta/Dja Dja Wurung soul tidda (sister), Lou Bennett, sings and yarns her way through her amazing life. From small-town black chick playing doo wop in her Uncle's band to the big city lights worldwide with the ragingly successful trio ?The Tiddas?, Lou's stories and divine singing are an inspiration. Bravely coming out to her family and a closed-minded town; to dealing with racist and sexist jaunts in pubs during performances - Lou's courage and enduring talent wins the day.
