Sh-Boom! Life Could Be a Dream

Tickets starting at $76

A nostalgic jukebox musical set in the early sixties, Sh-Boom! Life Could Be a Dream follows a fledgling doo-wop quartet hoping to win a national radio contest and launch their careers. 

As the group navigates harmony onstage and conflict offstage, they face romantic entanglements, personal setbacks and the pressures of ambition. 

Through classic hits of the era, the show celebrates friendship, perseverance and the importance of staying true to oneself. Featuring beloved doo-wop hits including “Unchained Melody,” “Duke of Earl,””I Only Have Eyes for You,” “Tears on My Pillow,” “Runaround Sue” and, of course, “Life Could be a Dream (Sh-Boom).”
