August 18, 2006  Musical - Surf City USA -  It's a new musical, dude. Romance blossoms in the shadow of some gnarly waves in this nostalgic look back at The Beach Boys and Gidget. Such are the days when girls wore modest two-piece bathing suits, teased hair and no tattoos. Beach boys were torn between surfing and their girls, but romance usually found a way to overcome the obstacles set in its path. Such is life in this idealized look at Surf City USA. Book, lyrics and music by Shirley Orlando, directed and choreographed by Roberta Kay, music directed and arranged by Erik Przytulski, produced by Bettie Muellenberg, Monica Bartolone and Mike Bower.
