SVP is seeking an ethnically diverse cast of actors who can sing and dance and represent the classic "girl groups" of the era. Male characters represented include Jeff Barry, Phil Spector and Neil Sedaka.

Synopsis: Classic songs of the swinging 60's bring fabulous fun to the SVP stage in this true-to-life musical rags-to-riches tale of the songwriter who penned many top-of-the-chart hits we love and adore. Your feet will be tapping to such pop-hits as “Chapel of Love,” “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “And Then He Kissed Me,” as you watch the rise of a musical genius as she navigates through the highs and lows of artistry and romance on the inside of the record-making world.
