The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre has become known for bringing classic musicals, as well as area and regional premieres to the stage. Some of its most successful productions have also been musical adaptations of popular televisions shows, and the theater will be adding another TV show-turned-musical to that list this summer when it presents “The Beverly Hillbillies: The Musical.”

Based on the popular 1960s sitcom, the musical stars 17-year-old Elly May Clampett, whose father unexpectedly strikes it rich and moves his family from the Ozarks to Beverly Hills, California. Suddenly torn from her pig-farmer fiancé, the beautiful but naïve tomboy is thrown into a world of debutante balls, polo matches and people mainly concerned with their place in society. Nearly taken in by a couple of scheming ne’er-do-wells, Elly proves traditional country virtue triumphs over slick city vice.
