I have seen all four of these gentlemen in person many many times over the years, at Off Broadstreet and in Sierra Stages productions.  Individually, they are each wonderfully talented.  But………..put them together as a group as they were in “Doo Wop”, and they are spectacular!!!  Their harmonies are spot on, their charm and charisma are infectious, and their sense of humor and timing are perfect.  We in Nevada County who love live theater are incredibly lucky to have these 4 guys living here and willing to share their talents with us.  I am excited to see what the future holds for them. -Judi...

Don’t miss ‘Doo-Wop Shoo-Bop’

I just saw Off Broadstreet’s latest musical, “Doo-Wop Shoo-Bop.” It is the best show I’ve seen at Off Broadstreet, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Three friends who also saw the performance concur. The show has a cute premise and a lot of funny lines, but what makes the show so outstanding are the four performers — Jed Dixon, Isaias Acosta, JR Lewis and Andrew Kerr. All have great voices, appealing personas and vibrant energy, and because their voices fit so well together, their harmonies are gorgeous. The very familiar songs — such as “Love Potion #9,” “Poison Ivy” and “Vaya Con Dios,” allow their vocal and acting abilities to shine. The crowd roared its approval after each tune because all were so well done. Each man has an opportunity to both solo and harmonize. Some of the songs are sung a cappella; Katie Baker’s excellent accompaniment on keyboard backs many tunes. We all laughed and laughed; many of the dance moves, commentary and facial expressions are very humorous, creating an evening of delicious song and comedy. Do not miss this show! You will walk out of the theater with a very broad smile and a happy disposition. Hindi...
