Photo Flash: First Look at Great Lakes Theater's BEEHIVE – THE '60s MUSICAL

Great Lakes Theater (GLT), Cleveland's Classic Company, concludes its 2018-19 season with Off Broadway's groovy retro-hit revue, Beehive - The '60s Musical. The production will be performed in the company's intimate home at the Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square, May 4-20, 2018. Victoria Bussert directs. Beehive - The '60s Musical was created by Larry Gallagher.

Generous production support for Beehive - The '60s Musical was provided by FirstEnergy Foundation and the Kulas Foundation. The production is part of the Kulas Musical Theater Series at Great Lakes Theater. GLT is also supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a generous public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. Season support is provided by The Cleveland Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council. Media sponsors for GLT's 56th season are The FORM Group and ideastream (WCLV, WCPN, WVIZ).

Beehive - The '60s Musical is an exuberant jukebox celebration of the women musicians who made the '60s truly memorable. Beehive transports audiences on a nostalgic musical journey back in time. Featuring forty classic chart-toppers (and Aqua Net-glistening coiffures, of course), this groovy retro-revue highlights hits that range from The Supremes' memorable melodies to Janis Joplin's heart-rending rasp to Aretha Franklin's soul and more. So break out your vintage best...and prepare to sing along, dance in the aisles and relive one of music's truly golden eras.

Great Lakes Theater's acclaimed home at the Hanna Theatre features a visionary "Great Room" inspired design that integrates the artist and audience experience into a single unified environment. Hanna patrons select from a variety of seating opportunities including traditional theater seats, club chairs, lounge/bar seats, banquette couches and private box seating. Arranged in an intimate 550-seat thrust configuration where the audience surrounds the stage, no seat is further than 13 rows from the performance.

Beehive - The '60s Musical is presented through special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and all authorized performance materials are also supplied by TRW, New York, NY. (Tel: 646-736-3232. Fax: 212-643-1322. www.theatricalrights.com)
