"It should be a very entertaining show, with great music, a great cast and a funny script," says Rich Treptow, a member of the Heart O'Lakes Harmony Chorus who is serving as the show's chairman.
"Some of the favorite songs of the '50s will be featured, including "Sh-Boom," "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," "Who Wrote the Book of Love," "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do," "Mary Lou" and many others -- all sung in four-part, a cappella harmony."
