The Bikinis, a celebration of songs from the 1960s, will play the Long Wharf Theatre's Claire Tow Stage from July 9-27, the organization has announced. The show is created and written by Ray Roderick and James Hindman, with musical arrangements by Joseph Baker, and additional music and lyrics by Baker and Roderick.

The musical follows the 1960s girl group The Bikinis singing old favorites to raise money for the Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach Resort. With a concert that promises to get everyone dancing in the aisles, The Bikinis relive their heyday and beyond, beginning with the summer of 1964 and continuing through the great music in their lives. Classic songs featured in the score include "It's in His Kiss," "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," "Under the Boardwalk," and "It's Raining Men," among others.

The company features Meghan Duffy, Lori Hammel, Regina Levert, and Karyn Quackenbush. Roderick will choreograph and direct.
