Why does the audience always know when a character shouldn't open that closet door or go down those stairs? Because of the music of course! The screeching strings that made you never want to step foot in a shower stall. Those two notes that had you terrified to swim in the ocean. Join Peter and The POPS as they highlight the music that puts the "horror" in horror-flick!

With the Voices of the POPS
Sing Hallelujah! Peter and The POPS celebrate the timeless music of Harold Arlen - Over the Rainbow, Get Happy, Blues in the Night - the list is endless. Join The POPS as they honor one of America's greatest and most prolific songwriters on the centennial of his birth. In addition to his collaborations with renowned composers like Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer and Duke Ellington, Arlen wrote dozens of film scores, composed a host of Broadway hits and had a long-time association with Harlem's famous Cotton Club, where he produced the classic Stormy Weather. This was definitely a man who had "the world on a string!"

Broadway sensations Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley return by popular demand!

Shoo-wop, shoo-wally-wally-yippety-boom-de-boom! Were you one of those cool kids dancing on American Bandstand? Did you sing on the street corner or in the hallways of your high school? Then you helped give birth to a form of music that changed musical history forever - Doo-wop! With its beautiful harmonies and heartfelt love songs Doo-wop was the original rock'n roll music. Shamma-lama ding-dong!

Long after the end of World War II, the music that floated through our nation in the early 1940's is viewed by many as the country's finest Pop moment. Wartime nostalgia - String of Pearls, Chattanooga Choo Choo, As Time Goes By - and the glorious performers of the USO who brought these wonderful songs to our servicemen - The Andrew Sisters, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee-kept the hope alive on both sides of the Atlantic. Thanks to Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley, a seductive wartime dream world was created that grows more appealing as time marches on.
