Prairie Heights Theatre presents, 'A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop'

April 25: 7pm
April 26: 7pm
April 27: 3pm

'A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop' takes us back to the late 1950’s as Rock & Roll is taking the airwaves by storm. Roberta "Ruby" Lester and her friends are spunky teenagers with dreams of making it big in the music business. But sometimes dreams don’t go as planned. When the local radio station announces that “Rock‘n’Roll has got to go”, the kids take a stand for the music they love.

In the tradition of Hairspray, 'A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop' tells an original story based around real events in the late '50's and early '60's Rock & Roll era. Featuring hit songs “Rock Around The Clock”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Tutti
Frutti”, “Up On the Roof”, “The Loco-Motion”, “I’m Sorry” and “Land Of 1000 Dances”, this new jukebox musical will get a whole new generation rockin’ around the clock!

This combined production of Prairie Heights Middle School and Prairie Heights High School Theatre promises to bop you right out of your seat!

Tickets: $8 for presale; $10 at the door
