      According to the Flint Journal's theatre critic in referring to The Frankie Lymon Story, "this one tops them all." She continues: "For baby boomers, this show is an exciting nostalgic return to the beginnings of rock n' roll. Wonderful tunes such as "Goody, Goody," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," and "Little Bitty Pretty One" are just a smattering of the show's ballads and doo-wop music." Collapse
