Loaded with popular, hit songs from the 1950's and 60's, this musical comedy created by Roger Bean, is set at Springfield High's Senior Prom in 1958 where we meet four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, this fun-loving show treats you to all the beloved popular songs from the 50's and 60's. Take a musical trip down memory lane with hits such as "Lollipop," "It's My Party," " Dream Lover," "You Don't Own Me" and many more!

This professional production will feature returning Playhouse favorite Kate Zaloumes and newcomers Sandia Ahlers, Caitlin Doak and Lindsay Nantz - all three actresses making their Playhouse debut. Winter Park Playhouse Artistic Director, Roy Alan, will direct and choreograph with Christopher Leavy to music direct this production. The Playhouse trio will accompany - Mr. Leavy on piano, Ned Wilkinson on multiple instruments and Sam Forrest on percussion.

"This is the type of show that is guaranteed fun for people of all ages," confirms Playhouse Executive Director Heather Alexander. "The songs are iconic classic 50's and 60's with a fun-loving story and unforgettable music. Get your tickets early ...this one will sell out!"
