If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"Sorry to be ignorant, and I figured others might be wondering, but what exactly is this about? Is it a jukebox musical? Or what's the story?"
It's a very thin bio-musical on Ellie Greenwich who, with Jeff Barry, wrote music for the girl groups of the 60's. It focuses on her start at the Brill Building, meeting Jeff, a courtship of sorts, marriage, divorce and then nervous breakdown.
