The Doo Wop Project Presents… Echoes of the Street

A Brand New Show from America’s Premiere Doo Wop Group! The dynamic Broadway stars of The Doo Wop Project are on a mission to put Doo Wop on everyone’s playlist! With their smokin’ hot band, they capture and deliver the classic sounds of the guys who, back in the day, harmonized with each other on stoops, in the subway, and on street corners, and they have also created a unique, exciting, fun way to “Doowop-ify” today’s biggest hits – reimagining them as though they had been written during the Doo Wop era! Once you experience The Doo Wop Project live on stage, you’ll see why everyone around the country calls them AMERICA’S PREMIERE DOO WOP GROUP. Their brand new 90 minute show — “Echoes of the Street” — keeps the classic sounds of Doo Wop alive for audiences of all ages. You’ll hear Doo Wop classics like the Del Vikings’ “Whispering Bells”, The Tymes’ “So Much in Love”, The Marcels’ “Blue Moon”, The Four Seasons’ “Sherry” and Motown’s “My Girl”. And you’ll fall in love with The Doo Wop Project’s Doowop-ified versions of contemporary songs by artists like Taylor Swift, Pharell Williams and Daft Punk. This show celebrates a music genre that has never lost its cool….while making it cool for generations to come. #SAVEDOOWOP *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.
