The musical includes the songs "Lollipop", "Dream Lover", "Stupid Cupid", "Lipstick on Your Collar", "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me", "It's My Party", and "It's In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)".
The original off-Broadway cast included Beth Malone (Betty Jean), Victoria Matlock (Cindy Lou), Farah Alvin (Missy), and Bets Malone (Suzy).
