Winner of the National Youth Theatre Award for Outstanding New Musical and the Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest, this rousing show offers ten spectacular musical numbers that give every young actor their moment in the spotlight! Golly Gee Whiz! is the quintessential “backyard musical,” a loving tribute to the terrific Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland Hollywood film musicals of the 1930s and 40s. The residents of Happyville, USA, aren’t all that happy. Usually loaded with a golly-gee-whiz sort of unstoppable optimism and ready to make the world a better place, they all seem to have come down with a case of boredom and grumps. They have good reason to feel so lousy. After all, it’s the middle of the Great Depression. But that’s when Mickey and Judy set ‘em straight and get everyone to work to put on a show! Why, if they all pitch in together, they can do something good for the town and raise some money to help out the local businesses! By working together, they put on such a great show that folks come from miles around to see it, and re-establish Happyville as the bustling town that it once was.

Hear what directors and critics are saying:
While parents will enjoy the musical’s ironic humor, kids will take its ‘go get ’em!’ attitude at face value, as well they should. The show harkens back to a more innocent era. We could all use a reminder of those times these days. Patrisha Holly Zabrycki, Time Out New York
Golly Gee Whiz is probably one of the BEST shows we've ever done! The teenagers loved it as their parts were challenging enough, and the younger kids loved it because of their “gang” song, “No Small Parts.” Donna Chalmers, Fifth Row Center, Flowery Branch, GA
I love Golly Gee Whiz! The musical numbers are so much fun and are written for young people’s voices. There are great relatable characters that are the same age as the actors, so they can really make great acting choices that come from their own knowledge. Everyone in the cast has a moment — or more! — to shine. Janine Nina Trevens, TADA! Theater Company, New York City, NY
It introduces our young actors, ages 8 -18, to a different time period and at the same time to a message that is so important for the world we live in now. As Judy says, “Don’t you know this is America? We can do anything here, if we all work together.” Janine Nina Trevens, TADA! Theater Company, New York City, NY
