BABY IT'S YOU Lawsuit Settled by Warner Bros.

In April, a complaint was filed seeking damages on behalf of world-famous performers BEverly Lee of The Shirelles, Dionne Warwick and Chuck Jackson, as well as the Estates of Doris Coley Jackson and Addie Harris Jackson, for the unauthorized use of their names and likenesses in BABY IT'S YOU. The case, Lee et al. v. Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures Inc. et al., was filed in the Southern District of New York.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the lawsuit was dropped with a settlement from Warner Bros. While exact details of the settlement aren't being revealed, U.S. District Judge Kimba M. Wood closed the suit on Wednesday. The case was moved to federal court in October.

Baby It's You! was inspired by the true story of Florence Greenberg, the woman who changed the recording world forever when she discovered The Shirelles and created Scepter Records, becoming the music industry's first female powerhouse. Starring Tony Award winner Beth Leavel as Greenberg, BABY IT'S YOU! was conceived by Floyd Mutrux, directed by Floyd Mutrux and Sheldon Epps, and written by Tony nominated book writers Mutrux and Colin Escott.

Baby It's You! played its final Broadway performance on September 4, 2011 at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street). The show played 33 preview and 151 regular performances.
