Performing songs of the 50s and 60s, this lively group entertains with a spontaneous humor and refreshing contemporary style of song. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, The Alley Cats are a perfect blend of musical talent and comic timing. Featuring songs such as "Life Could Be a Dream," "Rock 'N' Roll Is Here To Stay," and "Duke Of Earl."

Florida Studio Theatre is thrilled to present this unique cabaret show At The Hop, showcasing a long-standing tradition of using only the voice to create a sound as grand as a full piece band complete with instruments and the best of musical technology. With their pitch-perfect harmonies and engaging fun performance style, this group has developed a broad fan base that spans all across the country.

Formed while studying music at Fullerton College, The Alley Cats began their musical journey in 1987 as a featured act in Disneyland's "Blast to the Past", a salute to the 1950s. Their long-standing relationship with Disney also took them to New York City, where they were featured during the world premiere of Disney's animated film, "Hercules." Their accomplishments also include numerous TV shows, radio jingles, and thousands of live stage performances.

FST Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins, speaks to the reputation they have garnered throughout their years of performing stating, "I first saw the Alley Cats a few years ago opening for Jay Leno in Las Vegas. This is a show that is not only funny and bright, but presents the purest harmonies that made Doo-Wop famous. This group has earned their reputation as America's premiere Doo-Wop singing group. I am thrilled to welcome this dynamic act to FST."

President of Alley Cats Music, Inc. and a performer in the group, Mando Fonseca, speaks to the inspiration that drives this group to keep making music of this artistic style. "We find it important to continue the tradition of "street corner" harmony because of its purity, ease for any type of singer (novice or professional) and because it is an American art form, one of the few. We are very excited to return to FST and are hoping it can be a tradition."
