“Leader of the Pack: The Ellie Greenwich Musical” is a jukebox musical celebrating the life and times of the Brooklyn-born Greenwich, whose doo-wop sounds skyrocketed to the top of the pop charts in the early to mid-1960s. Author Anne Beatts’ “liner notes” serve as the book that links the songs and provides a look into the songwriter’s professional triumphs and personal misfortunes. Professional actors Kiara Wade, Ali Regan, Mason Barber, Britt Hewitt, and Myles Wright working alongside community actors Evelyn Harr and Ruby Lewin make for an outstanding cast. Directed by the Arts Center’s Artistic Director, Gwen Tracy, a native of Old Forge, along with Stage Manager, Charlotte Moon, of Rochester and Boston, and pianist, Sterling Brownell of Old Forge this is sure to be an outstanding show. The production will be on tour the first week of August.
