Brought back happy memories of my teen years. Great Shirelles music plus alot of oldies but goodies other music too. We sat upstairs and had a good view of the stag. My friends and I really enjoyed going down memory lane.
It was amazing. Every singer was wonderful. I'd even see it again if I had the time.
I really enjoyed the play. It was a small cast that had to play several parts and each one was fantastic. I was too young to know the background of this group and the people behind them, but through my older cousins, I was able to hear and enjoy their music. Once I got home, I checked out many websites to get details on the groups and other people involved and found that the play was very close to real life. This event was also a history lesson. When leaving the playhouse, I heard nothing but positive feedback.
