The musical, Leader of the Pack, is the story of singer-songwriter Ellie Greenwich. As far as biographical memoirs go, this one only skims the surface of its subject's life and doesn't really dig too deeply. It's more of a fun, vibey show, full of catchy nostalgic songs from Greenwich's catalogue like "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy", "Chapel of Love", and "River Deep Mountain High",  which is fine unless you are interested in something with more substance. However, there's nothing wrong with leaning into the fun once in a while. If you're interested in that, you can't go wrong with this highly energetic production brimming with spirited, lively performances led by the vivacious Kyra Kennedy in the title role. 

And that's our view. For more about Leader of the Pack or to purchase tickets, visit bcptheater.org/shows/leader-of-the-pack.
