Do you remember when hair was hard and life was easy??? Big hair is back and so is the infectious 'shoo-be-do-wop-wop' sound of the 1960's. Take a stage full of wailing women and add 1 hot band, 48 big wigs, 60 costumes, 25 cans of hairspray and more than 40 of the greatest '60's hits, and you get BEEHIVE! THE 60's MUSICAL!

A hit Off-Broadway musical revue of the great tunes of that decade, BEEHIVE! is a high energy parade of pop songs by The Supremes, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Connie Francis, The Chiffons, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin and many many others. It has all the fringe, the sequins and the towering hair-dos that marked that decade, and if you see a haze in the air around the Arabian Theatre this fall, it won't be smog. It'll just be...Aquanet.

Director Wess Hughes and Music Director Michelle Howells will have a powerful cast that'll knock your go-go boots off! Start practicing now so you can sing along to "The Name Game"...Shirley, Shirley, bo Shirley, banana fanna fo firley, fee fi mo mirley...Shirley!

LLT favorites John Bisnette and Ernest Graves as the two fathers in our 1970 production of The Fantasticks. Those two gents played dozens and dozens of roles in our shows in a span that covered over three decades.

Michael Howard in his role of El Gallo, the Narrator in The Fantasticks. Michael was the Choir Director at R. H. Watkins back in the 70's and is now the head of the Theatre Department at Tulane University in New Orleans.

From the amazing 1999 production of Side Show, Missy McCraw (Sanderson) and Brittany Patten played the real life Hilton Sisters who were known back in the 1930's as the 'Siamese Twins.' Mike Weber and Jonathan McKenzie played their boyfriends.
