Butte celebrates women who rocked a generation
Doug Fitzgerald
The Butte Theater in Cripple Creek continues its 2025 professional summer season with Beehive: The 60s Musical, produced by Green Class Productions.
This vibrant, feel-good production is helmed by director Hannah Guilinger and produced by Nick Charles Madson.
Created by Larry Gallagher, Beehive is a musical celebration of the powerful female voices that shaped a decade — featuring iconic hits like “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “My Baby,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” and “Me and Bobby McGee.” Told through the lens of six young women coming of age during the 1960s, the show charts the evolution of a generation — from the innocence of teen romance to the awakening of social change.
“Beehive is more than just a jukebox musical — it’s a heartfelt, high-energy homage to the women who redefined music, culture, and identity in a time of transformation,” the Butte said in a press release.
Performances run July 18 through August 31. Tickets are available now at buttetheater.com or by calling the box office at (719) 689-6402.
