This hit Broadway musical retrospective celebrates the life and times of Ellie Greenwich, whose doo wop sounds skyrocketed to the top of the sixties charts. The story of Ellie's rise to fame and fortune is punctuated with the virtual Hit Parade of her music: "Chapel of Love," "Da Do Ron Ron," "Be My Baby," "Hanky Panky," Do Wah Diddy," "And Then He Kissed Me" and, of course, the title song.

"A happy, high spirited, foot stomping romp. I never realized the songs of the sixties could sound so good."-- WNBC Radio.

"The show dances with that up tempo "wall of sound' that was part of all our lives."-- Hollywood Reporter.

"Superior, consistently ingratiating entertainment."-- Variety.
