Mountain Playhouse presents Sh-Boom! Life Could be a Dream
Mountain Playhouse will present the jukebox musical, Sh-Booom! Life Could Be a Dream, from Wednesday, June 14, through June 25, at Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown campus, Richland Township.
Curtain times are 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday; 2 p.m. Thursday; 2 and 8 p.m. Friday; 8 p.m. Saturday; and 3 p.m. Sunday.
Chan Harris, a longtime favorite at Mountain Playhouse, returns to direct this popular musical featuring the fictional Denny and the Dreamers, a fledgling doo-wop singing group preparing to enter the Big Whopper Radio contest to realize their dreams of making it to the big time.
It’s a fun, funny show, featuring great harmony arrangements of ’50s and ’60s hits, including “Sh-boom,” “Fools Fall in Love,” “Tears on My Pillow,” “Runaround Sue,” “Earth Angel,” “Stay,” “Unchained Melody,” “Lonely Teardrops,” “Rama Lama Ding Dong” and “The Glory of Love.”
The cast of five includes Christian Clausnitzer as Denny Varney; Spencer Evett as Skip Henderson; Angelique Kortright as Lois/Mrs. Varney; Jack O’Connor as Eugene Johnson; and Ethan Tampus as Wally Patton. Johnstown native Michael Meketa serves as music director and conductor.
A great time for people of all ages, this feel-good musical with classic songs, choreography, and a happy ending will have audiences smiling throughout and humming the tunes out the door.
