50's at the Hop
Hey all you cool cats, this is Branson Dad telling you of
this great new place over at Branson Meadows Mall. It’s the 50’s at the Hop Theater featuring the 50’s at
the Hop show. You can sit back in
comfortable seats and listen to great hits from the 50’s like “Rock Around
The Clock”, “Stand By Me”, “Lilli-pop”, “Chantily Lace”, and
“Yakety Yack”. It’s like
stepping back in time to the 1950’s with guys on the street corner singing Doo
Wop like “Life Could Be a Dream”, or crowds of people doing the Hand Jive. During the show, the Hopettes, Jessica Morales and Dana
Courier, invite one gentleman (David) from the audience onto stage and sing
several songs to him. By the end of
the segment, David had on a leather jacket and hat and was dancing with the
girls – way to go Dave! The Hop
guys, Michael Land and Shane VorHaben, did tribute segments to the Everly
Brothers and Righteous Brothers singing “Bye
Bye Love”, “Wake Up Little Susie”, and “Nobody But You”. I loved the entire show, but especially loved the part
where Darrell Croy – the piano player from the band- was highlighted singing
and playing the piano as Jerry Lee Lewis. He
did “Breathless”, “High School Bop”, and “Great Balls of Fire”.
The whole audience went wild as his energy filled the theater.
His performance in itself was enough reason to go see the show.
Another reason is to hear Marvin Short play his sax.
He can really make that horn of his sing.
It’s no wonder he won so many awards for his performances playing the
sax. You will surely recognize who
he is by his hair, it stands about a foot above his head.
He uses a whole can of hairspray to keep it up that way. Over all, this is the show to see if your looking for a
variety of 50’s music. Stay cool
and I’ll catch you on the flip side. These guys are truly wonderful. To make sure you get a chance to
