The Doo Wop Project dazzles at Schaumburg Prairie Center Jan. 17

The Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts will present The Doo Wop Project at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17. The Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts is at 201 Schaumburg Court, Schaumburg.

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 those guys who, back in the day, harmonized with each other on stoops, in the subway, and on street corners. They have also created a unique, exciting way to “Doowop-ify” today’s biggest hits, reimagining them as if they had been written during the Doo Wop era.

Their 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,” as well as The Doo Wop Project’s Doowop-ified versions of contemporary songs by artists like Taylor Swift, Pharell Williams, Daft Punk and Chris Stapleton.

This show celebrates a music genre that has never lost its cool, while making it cool for generations to come.

“This is a celebration of timeless harmonies,” said Eddie Sugarman, assistant director of the Prairie Center. “And it’s also a fresh, fun way to introduce this electrifying music to a whole new generation.”

Tickets are $58-$65 (including fees) and are available at prairiecenter.org or by calling (847) 895-3600.
