Running through Sept. 2, The Bikinis is written and created by James Hindman and Ray Roderick and features music arrangements by Joseph Baker, with additional music and lyrics by Baker and Roderick. The musical had its premiere at the ReVision Theatre Company in Asbury Park, NJ, in 2010.

Roderick will direct and choreograph the musical that features such songs as "It's In His Kiss," "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," "Heat Wave" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."

Here's how it's billed: "Back together again! The '60s girl group that everyone loves is bringing back the sun, fun and all the great songs they sang on the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore...all to raise money to save Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach Resort."

Hammel (Mamma Mia, 9 to 5) will portray Jodi, with Duffy (Grease, Rocky Horror Show) as Annie, Quackenbush (Imaginary Friends, Annie Get Your Gun) as Karla and and LeVert (Fame) as Barbara.

The Bikinis has lighting design by Jason Lyons and sound design by Jay Hilton.

The Norma Terris is Goodspeed's home for developing new musicals; although audiences pay, critics are not invited to review shows there.
