Synopsis

BEEHIVE is a high-energy musical that celebrates some of the most iconic female voices of the 1960s through timeless hits like “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “Be My Baby,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” and more. Told from the perspective of six young women coming of age during this transformative decade, the show takes audiences from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges faced by a nation.

This toe-tapping, heartwarming show offers a dynamic and emotionally rich opportunity for performers to showcase the unforgettable hits of the 1960s. With a dazzling score of beloved bops, irresistible energy, and a narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages, BEEHIVE is the perfect musical to bring a burst of joy and nostalgia to any stage. It’s an electrifying celebration of music, sisterhood, and the enduring power of women’s voices.

BEEHIVE: School Edition is a large-cast version of the original 6-women script, for a high school cast of up to 28 or more (8 lead female soloists with a chorus of girlfriends and boyfriends). However, you could easily do the show with as small a cast as 10-20 girls and 1-3 boys.

BEEHIVE: School Edition is currently only available for licensing in the U.S. and Canada.
