August 11, 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.

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.
