SHOUT! flips through the years like a musical magazine and takes you back to the music, the fashion and the freedom of the 60's! This smashing revue tracks five groovy gals as they come of age during those liberating days that made England swing! Join this non-stop journey through the infectious and soulful pop anthems and ballads that made household names of stars like Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and Lulu. SHOUT! uses letters to an advice columnist, true confessions, quizzes and advertisements as a frame for terrific new arrangements of such chart-topping hits as "To Sir With Love," "Downtown," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "Son of A Preacher Man," and "Goldfinger." With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and psychedelic dances from the 60's, this fun-filled musical will make you want to throw your head back and SHOUT!

Age Recommendation for Shout! The Mod Musical
Thank you for your interest in Shout! The Mod Musical, opening soon at The Retro Dome. Since many of our fans found The Retro Dome by attending “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” and “Santastic!”, both family musicals, we felt we should take a moment to provide some information about Shout! so you can make an informed decision prior to attending with your family.

Shout! is a fantastic musical theatre experience for anyone ready to groove to the sounds of the 60s with such songs as Downtown, To Sir With Love, Wishin & Hopin, Georgy Girl, Windy, Shout, and much, much more all performed by five talented, trendy swingin’ chicks of the 60s. The songs are tied together with a framework using issues of "Shout!", a magazine akin to “Teen Beat” or Europe’s “Ok!”. The magazine format allows the girls to read and respond to articles, advertisements and letters to a 60s-era advice columnist. The five mod women offer a variety of reactions to the advice given by the columnist: some is mimed, some is spoken, some is presented in vignettes a la “Laugh-in”.

We have rated the production as PG-13 for some of the dialogue and content which is decidedly more adult-focused. The production includes sexual innuendo; drug references and mild language.

Sexual References:

• Says the tarty Green Girl in her Cockney accent: “See me new mini-dress? Now ya don’t 'ave to go to Australia to see ‘Down Unda!’” She also quips: “Me boyfriend Joe didn’t get 'ome til morning'. 'E told me 'e spent the night with 'is brother Brian. But I knew he was lyin.’ How did you know that? ‘Because I spent the night with 'hi brother Brian!”

Drug References:

• The magazine references the “cigarette and caffeine diet”
• The magazine references an article introducing “The Pill.”
• The magazine features an article titled, “The Devil’s Weed: The Truth About Marijuana. In this vignette, the girls each mime taking a hit for the first time. “Oh, that’s terrible.” “It burns my throat.” “I don’t like the smell.” “I don’t feel anything.” “Good shit.” The scene goes on to show each reaction to getting high for the first time which segues into a parody of the female sexual empowerment in the Bond movies (“Goldfinger.”)
• The Red Girl quips: “I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes got stuck up me nose.”

Language:

• The following words are used: shag, sex parties and orgies, shit, God, slut, “fondle me charlies” (British reference to breasts), divorce, homosexuality
• The Green Girl gives the advice columnist “the finger”

Violence:

• In a character arc, the Yellow Girl reveals her husband is hitting her and that he comes home drunk

All of the situations identified above are presented with purpose and not simply for the sake of shock value. They depict a time period and slice of life in England in the 60s.
