THE VILLAGE PEOPLE

Come on, everybody! Sing along -- “It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.”

If you didn’t feel your arms start to assume the hand-raised position

and your toes start to tap, then you probably don’t want to go to the

Orange County Fair’s Arlington Theater tonight to see the Village People

live and in concert.

You read me. Indian, Cowboy, G.I., Cop, Biker and Construction will

all be there to guide Newport Mesa through “YMCA,” “In the Navy” and,

yes, even “Macho Man.”

It’s goofy, sure, to get such a kick out of a bunch of guys dressed in

silly costumes singing disco. But golly, gee-willikers! They’re the

Village People! Smile. You know you want to.

FYI

When: 8 tonight

Cost: Free with fair admission ($7 for ages 13 to 54, $6 seniors 55

“Sailing” at the Fashion Island concert series

about.
