Pump Boys and Dinettes, the Country & Western Musical Comedy
Drury Lane Theatre (Oakbrook Terrace, IL)
Rated 3.4 by 47 members who went.
The pump boys sell high octane fuel on North Carolina's Highway 57 and the sassy dinettes, Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Between changing tires and baking pies, the gang performs a rousing, down-home mix of country western, rock n' roll and blues in this charming tale of friendship, romance and life's simple pleasures.

The cast was outstanding. The set was excellent. Have seen this play twice before...enjoy the music. Prefer it in a smaller venue. All in all, it was fun.

The seats were great. we were right up front to the left side of stage. the play was fun and lively. they included audience participation which drew us all into the party. the content of the story was weak and it could have had a little more substitive guts. the actors were talented but not tremedous.

Very entertaining. The singers and musicians were excellent. The small theater lent itself very well to this production and they used the space effectively. Good for any age and a lot of fun.

Pump Boys and Dinettes was so much fun. The music was uplifting. The characters were playful, enjoyable and all had great music ability - voice and instruments. I especially liked LM - his character was something special and he is an excellent piano player!!
Would recommend this show and hope it comes around again!

This play was so upbeat that I had a smile on my face throughout the entire production. The music was, basically, country with a tiny bit of rock & roll thown in and the cast was just perfect for their parts. If it was still running, I would see it again.

Had a very enjoyable evening. The show was energetic and lively and music was very good. The lyrics were a bit difficult to follow because the music was very dominant but all in all a good show. Seats were very good.

My review was "This was okay". It was mainly a song and dance show with really no story to it. The actors/musicians were great but the music did not have any memorable tunes. Again, it was an okay show.

This was a wonderful experience! The music was phenominal, the singing superb, and the six-member cast was delightful! It's a toe-tapping experience you shouldn't miss!!! I was a little worried about where our seats might be, since you don't know that until you arrive. However, we were not disappointed...the seats were perfect! Can't wait to see a new show there!

It was very well done, high energy, good voices. I've seen it before about 6 years ago, but it was worth seeing again, even though the songs are not memorable.

Great small theater show. Everyone was excellent - but it was very obvious the bass player didn't sing or talk - I thought it was strange but other than that we had a great time.

Good venue to see plays. We've seen several plays here. This play was very weak. No plot line. Some of the songs were funny, but overall a very weak play. Glad we didn't pay full price for the tickets

This was an outstanding show. The acting and singing were superb. The production set was equivalent to that of a Broadway show. The Drury Lane is an absolutely beautiful venue. I would recommend anyone of any age group going to see this show.

We went Sunday afternoon to the show. It was very good and lively. The songs were original to the play and nothing you knew. But the six actors were very good and sang wonderfully. The seats were about 10 rows from the front on the left side and were great.

The musical was great! Fun cast, great music, good singing, fantastic musicians. Liked the "homemade" instruments.......rolling pin and pots. The story took place at one location with a 6 member cast......no need for changing scenery. The "tip" song was fun, with the Cupp sisters going out to the audience and actually getting tips. I hope the $$ collected goes to some charity??!!

My husband & I went for our 33rd anniversary and really enjoyed the show. We got fantastic seats-2nd row center, and I had only ordered them the day before! We had seen the play before, at least 15 years ago, but really enjoyed this performance. We really enjoy the Drury Lane-Oakbrook theatre.

What a fun show! It really doesn't have a plot, but it's funny, and the talent is great. Of course I'm prejudiced because my nephew is in the cast. He plays Jackson. Make sure you see this performance before it ends on August 2nd.

This was an awesome, lively musical. We didn't want it to end. The singing, harmonarizing, instrumental talent, and energy left us wanting more. I plan on seeing Pump Boys & Dinettes again!

Terrific, energetic production of a great little musical. Takes a multi-talented cast to handle all the instruments, vocals AND comic acting, and this cast excelled. One warning to future attendees: To use a familiar Southernism, Drury Lane's drafty air-conditioning system renders the auditorium "so cold you could hang meat in there." Nearly everyone kept their jackets on and a poor little elderly lady seated next to us kept the hood of her wrap snuggled around her neck for the whole show.
