Golly Gee Whiz is a fun and frolicking family musical based on the classic Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney films of the 1930's.

It is 1939 and even the town of Happyville is depressed, especially the kids. But what can a group of kids do to change the town's economy? "Hey, kids let's put on a show!" says Mickey. "I know my father's got a barn!" exclaims Judy. They are sure it will be such a great show that folks will come from miles around to see it, and re-establish Happyville as the bustling town that it once was. This musical in its New Orleans’ premiere from the TADA! Youth Theater in New York City, with book and music by Eric Rockwell and book and lyrics by Joanne Bogart.
