BC Players Add Extra "Beehive" Saturday Performance

With tickets selling out quickly, the Oradell community theatre has added an extra performance for March 2, 2pm

The Bergen County Players all-female musical revue of the 1960s has been selling out fast. And with the show's popularity growing, the Oradell based community theatre has added an extra performance on Saturday, March 2, 2pm.

This Off-Broadway hit, under the direction of Dottie Fischer, finds its way to the BCP stage for the first time showcasing its nearly 40 songs that made the 1960s THE decade for female vocalists, ranging from Leslie Gore to Carole King to Tina Turner to The Supremes.

“This was an important time for women, as they were beginning to feel empowered," Fischer said. "Think of the songs ‘Respect’ which was a huge hit for Aretha Franklin, and Lesley Gore’s ‘You Don’t Own Me.’  Also ‘Downtown’ and ‘The Beat Goes On’…what were they really saying?”
