BWW Review: Celebrating Girl Power with BEEHIVE The 60's Musical
(2017)
Abstract
BEEHIVE is a musical so jam-packed with hits that it's almost overwhelming. Though this show is not a traditional musical so much as it's a musical revue, there is a nice loose plot running through the whole production that serves to give the songs political and social context and really drive home how tumultuous the 1960s were and how dramatically different the early part of the decade was from the end of it. The cast of seven women start out as young adults, and then as the time of the songs passes, they grow up, learn more about the world, and channel that knowledge back into the music. It's a fun night of nostalgia, but also one that doesn't completely sugarcoat the problems of the past.
