Baby It's You!

Reader reviews: Write a review | Read more reviews If the Shirelles can't quite do for "Baby It's You!" what Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons did for "Jersey Boys," please don't blame the music. The sound of this path-breaking girl group still has an infectious charm, but these singers deserve a better-written vehicle than this patchwork musical. Written by Colin Escott and director Floyd Mutrux, the show is actually centered on the person who discovered the Shirelles, but the compelling story of Florence Greenberg, a housewife from Passaic, N.J., who crossed racial and gender lines to build a leading independent record company, is told in generalities.

Jeannie Sherman Oaks, CA11 stars out of 10! Great story - exceptional talent - emotional and fun! It's all wrapped up in this sterling package of a musical. Where have these singers & actors been? They're off the charts incredible! Visually, the colors, costumes and sets are beautiful. The story and songs "really got a hold on me." Pasadena Playhouse is the perfect venue for this show. LOVED IT! November 14, 2009
DeAnna Santa Monica, CAActing: Superb Music: Fantastic, but too many songs performed by the Shirelles - although they were unbelievable talented, it would have been nice to hear a little more from the other cast members, i.e., Florience and Mary Jane. Really, really loved Mary Jane. What a voice! Set: Wonderful!! Overall, a very pleasant night going down memory lane!! Write a review | Read more reviews |
