This coming of age musical involves the 1950s Catholic education of eight Chicago children, following them from the start of elementary school through their senior prom and beyond. Along the way it touches on such topics as first confession, popularity, teacher's pets, sex education, growing up Catholic, and falling in love. It captures the funniest aspects of youthful growing pains and the trying moments of adolescence. One of the central plot elements running through the musical is the romance of Eddie Ryan, who is infatuated with a chubby girl, Becky Bakowski. She becomes his best friend, and he later falls in love with her when she matures into a beautiful woman. But then everything changes! The musical not to miss with a great cast!
Not only did the audiences love this musical, so did the press!
