The next year, the pair debuted on Broadway in the Sherman Brothers' nostalgic World War II musical: "Over Here!" which premiered at the Shubert Theatre to rave reviews. This was a follow-up to Patty's success in "Victory Canteen", a 1971 California revue. "Over Here!" starred Maxene and Patty (with Janie Sell filling in for LaVerne and winning a Tony Award for her performance) and was written with both sisters in mind for the leads.

They have two children together (Jonathan and Dean) and raised Andre Jr.
