Photo Flash: First Look at LIFE COULD BE A DREAM, Opening Tonight at Cortland Rep

By:

Wrapping up Cortland Repertory Theatre's season from tonight, August 30, through September 9 is the new musical LIFE COULD BE A DREAM, written and created by Roger Bean, with musical arrangements by Roger Bean and Jon Newton and featuring the greatest "doo-wop" hits of the '60's. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Audiences are invited to take another trip to Springfield (the home town of the last year's hit, "The Marvelous Wonderettes") and 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 '60s hits say it all: Fools Fall in Love, Tears on My Pillow, Runaround Sue, Earth Angel, Unchained Melody, and many more.
