BEEHIVE DescriptionBEEHIVE takes us back to another time in America's history of turbulent change and defining historical events-the 1960's. In this joyful musical, which traces the rise of a generation-defining group of women singers (The Supremes, The Shangri-Las, Leslie Gore, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin among others) we re-live that era as it moves from the infectious innocence of the early 60's girl groups to the life changing events (JFK, Vietnam, civil rights, the women's movement) of the mid-60's. We were forever changed by the events of the 1960's and these trailblazing women were the soundtrack of that generation. I love the show because it rewards the audience in several ways: we get to re-visit this time and enjoy our shared memories (do you remember where you were when you heard the news about JFK?), we get to enjoy once again the music of these trailblazing women, and the audience at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre gets to meet six new female stars - a new generation of amazing female singers who will blow the roof off the Theatre at the rockin' party called BEEHIVE.
Press"This production of Beehive is tightly staged, well played, and outstandingly sung...
The women of the cast sing every song with beautifully blended and balanced harmonies." "The shows stars - Bridget Beirne, Felicia Boswell, Lisa Estridge, Autumn Hurlbert, Noel Molinelli and Anastacia McCleskey - work harder than six James Browns on stage and have a wonderfully infectious chemistry. All of them look like they're havng a blast...They're like a bunch of little girls playing dress up." "Relive the age of women’s music, with six amazing vocalists!" "Beehive: The ’60s Musical Revue at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre is two hours of total enjoyment,
watching and listening to the six women whose singing, dancing and personalities
move from the infectious innocence of the mid-’60s girl groups to life-changing events ...
we were back in the ’60s and loving every minute of the liberating girl groups and their beehive hairdos.
We should also mention that Anastacia (Stacy) McCleskey’s Tina Turner,
Felicia Boswell’s Annette Funicello, Autumn Hurlbert’s Petulia Clark, Lisa Estridge’s Aretha Franklin
and Noel Molinelli’s Connie Francis and Lulu were all equally well performed."
