'Beehive' a 60's musical next at BCP

Celebrating 80 years, the Bergen County Players (BCP) will present "Beehive,"The 60s Musical, a rollicking revue of a musical decade dominated by historically powerful female performers. Under the direction of Dottie Fischer, "Beehive" will be performed at the Little Firehouse Theatre in Oradell from February 16th through March 9th.

Shows will be on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m, and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at www.bcplayers.org, by calling 201-261-4200, or by visiting the box office at 298 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell during regular box office hours. Tickets are $22 or $18 for groups of 20 or more.

Whatever you think or remember of the 60s, Beehive is a celebratory 60s musical revue of the famous female vocalists of that time. This fun revue is all about the songs and how these incredible women singers were influenced by their social and political times. So while there was a lot of excitement, turbulence was always in the air. Women were questioning their roles in society and standing up for themselves in ways never before attempted.
