Stillinger: WLP was inspired to celebrate and rediscover the charm of classic theatre with a musical that offers a blend of nostalgia and entertainment for audiences of all ages.
Stillinger: They should expect an amazing story, hilarious one liners, high energy musical numbers, and an exceptional amount of talent told in the Broadway style of a classic golden age musical. We have a cast of 34, with a huge amount of diversity and ranges of talent. We have quite a few veteran performers and a few newcomers as well.
Stillinger: The show is set in the late 50s so I would say finding that balance between honoring the feel of the original while still making it relatable and fun for the younger generations not familiar with the originals charm.
Stillinger: It’s hard to pick a favorite since there are so many fun numbers. I would say “A lot of Livin to Do” because it’s a big dance number for the teen ensemble and they always have so much fun when they are performing it. It’s definitely an entertaining one to watch.
