Ellie Greenwich, Anne Beatts, and Melanie Mintz’s 'Leader of the Pack: The Ellie Greenwich Musical' arrived at the Ambassador Theatre in 1985, running for an accomplished 120 performances and capturing major Tony and Grammy Award nominations. Conceived as a high-energy jukebox musical biography spectacular, the fast-paced narrative charts the turbulent real-life rise and romantic vulnerabilities of Brill Building pop songwriting icon Ellie Greenwich, using her multi-platinum 1960s girl-group hits—including "Chapel of Love" and "Da Doo Ron Ron"—to score her creative trajectory. Directed and choreographed by Michael Peters, it starred Dinah Manoff.
