“A thoroughly authentic, engaging, and upbeat night.”—DC Theater Arts
The Doo Wop Project traces the evolution of doo-wop from the classic sounds of street corner harmonies to today’s biggest radio hits. The musical journey starts with the foundational tunes made famous by the Crests, Belmonts, and Flamingos, continues with the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons, and experiments with doowopified versions of modern hits like Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” and Garth Brooks’s “Friends in Low Places.” Performed by stars from the Broadway hits Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical, and A Bronx Tale, The Doo Wop Project brings thrilling vocals and an unparalleled authenticity of sound to some of the greatest tunes in American popular music.
