Life Could Be A Dream

A Doo-Wop Trip Down Memory Lane!

LIFE COULD BE A DREAM

By Roger Bean

SH-BOOM! Meet 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! Trouble comes in the form of Lois, who arrives to put some polish on the boys.  Denny falls in love, Wally falls in line, Eugene falls apart and along comes handsome heartthrob Skip to send the whole situation spinning.  The 60’s hits say it all:  “Fools Fall in Love”, “Tears on My Pillow,” “Runaround Sue,” “Earth Angel,”  “Stay,”  “Unchained Melody”, “Lonely Teardrops,” and “The Glory of Love”.  Winner of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Best Musical Award, it will leave you laughing singing and cheering.  Let’s hear it for the boys!  Appeared in the 2013 New York Musical Theater Festival.

What the critics are saying:

“Critic’s Pick!  Dream is so frothy, it floats.”    Los Angeles Times

“Go!  Spectacular!  Affectionate and clever – a rousing good-time musical!” – Los Angeles Weekly

“Dream is pure nostalgia.  A doo-woppers delight”  Calgary Sun
