ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY REVIEW:
“It is almost eerily fitting that Baby It’s You should be playing at the Broadhurst Theatre.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE REVIEW:
“Oh, the wretched unfairness of it all. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons get a thrilling jukebox celebration. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis at least had their music treated with respect and artistry.

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
“Baby It’s You, the sporadically entertaining new jukebox musical now at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre, mines the song catalog of the The Shirelles — as well as other big hits of the late 1950s and the early 1960s — as the musical tells the story of Florence Greenberg (Beth Leavel), the New Jersey housewife who discovered the girl group. ”
