Leader of the Pack traces the life and music of songwriter Ellie Greenwich, following her journey from a teenage girl with big dreams to one of the most influential hitmakers of the early-to-mid 1960s "girl group sound." Greenwich was also an originator of the "wall of sound" with Phil Spector. The show charts her rise through the Brill Building, her relationships, and the challenges that come with fame and creative ambition, told with warmth and humor. Songs include "Be My Baby," "Chapel of Love," and "Da Doo Ron Ron."
