Baby It's You! is a cheery, happy rock-and-roll musical about the creation of the four-woman singing group, the Shirelles, by a New Jersey housewife, Florence Greenberg (powerfully acted and beautiful sung by Beth Leavel) in 1958. We follow their subsequent musical adventures and Florence's romantic one with her partner played by strong, handsome Allan Louis. But the show is more than that; it's a history of R & R in the 60's, full of hit songs well-performed by four beautiful young women, each a strong musical personality, costumed to the nines, with lightning-fast changes (by Lizz Wolf), on Anna Louizos' active set, and with Howell Binkley's fine lighting. The theater bounced. The second act, basically a concert with the plot lines subjugated to the music, is terrific. The joint jumped, and audience faces shone with joy.
