Once upon a time, there was a place called the 1960s. There was music, and there were girl groups, and there was big hair, especially . . . . . Beehive Hairdos. Journey with me now to the Reedley Opera House, where the River City Theatre Company presents . . . . . Beehive, the ‘60s Musical through July 30.
Join the Visalia Players for Beehive, the musical, a trip down memory lane, or for those who are younger, a peek into a time that was turbulent, jubilant, and by some, considered innocent. The 1960s was a decade that for women encompassed a transition from homemaker of the 1950s, picture June Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver) to the freedom of making their way in the world, envision Janis Joplin (Me and Bobby McGee).
Beehive, the current show from the Good Company Players at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theatre, is a giddy, joyous review-style compilation of the great sounds of the Sixties, featuring the talents of a Magnificent Seven of wild women who take turns on the lead vocals.
