It’s a question first posed by Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers in 1956.  Although decades have passed, the now iconic question is ready to burn hotter than ever as Greenbrier Valley Theatre presents the ‘60s hit musical, Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, a dinner theatre.


The production, which features more than 20 well-known songs from one of music’s most beloved eras, offers a fun trip down memory lane. Featuring classic songs including “My Boy Lollipop,” “I Will Follow Him,” “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” and, of course, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” This musical romp proves that true friendships are only strengthened during life’s most difficult times.


Set in 1966, the show features Sally, Florence and Dee Dee as they gather for an impromptu bachelorette party celebrating Millie’s upcoming wedding.


As the evening progresses -- with the help of a few drinks -- secrets spill and the girls begin revealing scintillating details about their love lives, including some interesting information about Millie’s fiancee.


Why Do Fools Fall in Love? is a dinner theatre presentation as audiences are invited to enjoy a delicious meal catered by Lewisburg favorite Jim’s Drive-In one hour before each performance.
