(UNION, NJ) --- Get into the holiday spirit with The Doo Wop Project Holiday Show on Saturday, December 11 at 7:30pm at Wilkins Theatre (1000 Morris Ave) in Union. The band makes its’ triumphant return to Kean Stage after their outdoor, live performance at Kean University’s Alumni Stadium in October 2020, the first concert Kean Stage produced after the March 2020 shutdown. This time around, The Doo Wop Project will delight you with their favorite holiday songs from their holiday album Merry Christmas! From The Doo Wop Project, such as Last Christmas, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
Featuring stars from the Broadway hits Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical, and A Bronx Tale, The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—the greatest music in American pop and rock history.
“Yes, we need a little holiday spirit, right this very moment,” said Steve Cochran, Manager of Kean Stage. “It has been two years since we last came together, live, to celebrate the season with uplifting songs and high energy performances that gets the crowd up on its feet. The Doo Wop Project delivers that and much more. We couldn’t be happier to bring them back for the holidays.”
