'Afterglow' Performances to Celebrate THE FABULOUS LIPITONES at George Street, 11/29 & 12/10

In their current offering, The Fabulous Lipitones, barbershop harmony takes center stage at George Street Playhouse. In this hilarious a cappella musical comedy, an Ohio-based quartet becomes a trio when their lead becomes victim to a (literally) heart-stopping b-flat on stage at the regional competition. Their frantic search for a replacement before the nationals leads them to "Bob," who's not exactly what they anticipated.

In the barbershop world, performances and competitions are frequently celebrated with an "afterglow" following the event. George Street Playhouse continues that tradition by offering two locally-based, award-winning quartets following the Saturday, November 29 and Wednesday, December 10 performances of The Fabulous Lipitones. These post-show events are free, with no cover or minimum and will be offered in the Playhouse's cabaret lobby space.

The bar and concessions will be open for the duration, offering libations and tempting snacks. For tickets and information, contact the George Street Playhouse Box Office, 732-246-7717 or visit www.GSPonline.org. George Street Playhouse is located at 9 Livingston Avenue, in the heart of New Brunswick's lively downtown. When planning your visit, visit www.GSPonline.org for dining and parking suggestions.

We sing four-part men's acappela music and have developed a broad repertoire of acapella songs including classic barbershop, as well as show tunes, popular music, holiday songs, do-wop and inspirational and patriotic music. The quartet enjoys popularity among audiences ranging from children to senior citizens and has performed for audiences ranging in size from 20 to 5000. Performance highlights include an appearance at the Iridium Jazz Club in Manhattan as a guest of Les Paul, famed electric guitar inventor (while Frankie Avalon watched and listened with a smile!).
