The "DePaul Sisters" (played by the
Andrews Sisters ) could not function as a singing act because they were only aduet . What they were missing throughout the first act was a third singer. (This plot device mirrors the Andrews Sisters' real life tragic dilemma ofLaVerne Andrews death in 1967 which by default broke up their singing group.) By the addition of Mitzi to the group, they had their third singer and were on their way to the "big time". It is at this point in the plotline that "We Got It" is performed.External links
