The Doo Wop Project

Music lovers experience a bit of pop and rock history at a decades-spanning concert with vocal group the Doo Wop Project. Six charismatic singers take audience members on a chronological journey through the evolution of the doo-wop genre, which originated in the 1950s and features close vocal harmonies and nonsensical phrases. (Think the repetition of “Shoo-doo, shoo-be-doo” in the Five Satins’ 1956 hit “In the Still of the Night.”) The sextet, which includes current and former stars of Broadway’s Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, serves up ’50s and ’60s hits such as “Little Bitty Pretty One” by Thurston Harris and doo-wop inspired takes on contemporary songs by Maroon 5 and Amy Winehouse.
