Ocean City, NJ – Full of doo-wop music, dancing, and comedy, Sh-Boom! Life Could Be a Dream is set in the early 1960s and follows Denny and the Dreamers — Denny, Wally and Eugene — a fledgling doo-wop singing group preparing to enter the Big Whopper Radio contest to realize their dreams of making the big time.
Trouble comes in when Lois arrives to put some polish in the act. Denny falls in love, Wally falls in line, and Eugene falls apart just in time for handsome heartthrob Duke’s arrival to send the whole situation spinning.
Classic 1960s rock and roll hits “Fools Fall in Love,” “Tears on my Pillow, “Runaround Sue,” “Stay,” “Earth Angel,” “Unchained Melod,” and more help tell the story.
Sh-Boom! Life Could Be a Dream presented by the Ocean City Theatre Company will be performed at the Ocean City Music Pier on October 7, 8, 14, 15 at 7:00pm with a matinee on October 16 at 2:00pm.
Tickets are $22-$25 and can be purchased by calling 609-399-6111 or by visiting www.oceancityvacation.com/boxoffice.
