The Doo Wop Project performs Sept. 14

Love the classic sounds of Frankie Valli, The Drifters and The Del Vikings? Ever wonder what Adele, Jason Mraz and Garth Brooks would sound like if they had lived in the Doo Wop era?

The Doo Wop Project, a group of talented, charismatic and engaging Broadway stars from smash hit shows like “Jersey Boys,” “Motown: The Musical,” “Beautiful” and “A Bronx Tale,” will answer that question. The group opens the 2024-25 DFT Communications Pops Series with a concert on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall.

Backed by an all-star band, these five talented vocalists will perform Doo Wop classics and modern pop hits recreated in the Doo Wop style. The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the inception of group singing developed by inner city African Americans performing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. The journey starts with foundational tunes from groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to “DooWopified” versions of modern tunes from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5.
