Doo Wop Project performs tonight

PORT ANGELES — The Doo Wop Project will perform at 7 tonight.

The concert will be at the Port Angeles High School Performing Arts Center, 304 E. Park Ave.

Tickets are from $18 to $40, with tickets for youth 14 and under being $10.

Ticket are available at http://jffa.org/, Port Book and News in Port Angeles and Joyful Noise Music in Sequim.

The concert features a full band along with leading cast members from the Tony Award-winning Broadway smashes “Jersey Boys” and “Motown: The Musical” — Dominic Scaglione (current Frankie Valli), John Dias (former Frankie Valli), Dominic Nolfi (Tommy DeVito), 2013 Tony nominee Charl Brown (Smokey Robinson) and Dwayne Cooper (Melvin Franklin — Temptations).

“They take classic doo wop songs from the 1950s and ’60s and make them sound fresh and new…and they take contemporary pop hits by stars like Jason Mraz, Amy Winehouse, Adele and Maroon 5, and ‘doowopify’ them,” said Dan Maguire, executive director of the Juan de Fuca Foundation for the Arts.

The group begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today.
