SCHENECTADY — A four act Rock N Roll/Doo Wop Spectacular will be staged at Proctors Theatre, 432 State Street, Schenectady, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19.

Headlining the show is the legendary Chubby Checker. The singer grew up in South Philadelphia and formed a street-corner harmony group at age 8. His first hit record, “The Class” was released in 1959. By the summer of 1960, “The Twist” became a #1 hit, introducing the concept of couples “dancing apart to the beat” and leading to a revolution in dancing.

Co-headlining the show is The Doo Wop Project - stars of five Broadway smash hit shows like Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical. 

Also performing: The Duprees (“You Belong to Me,” “My Own True Love,”), and regional fave Trish Anderson - the lead singer of the Bluz House Rockers. Tickets are on sale at Proctors Box Office, by phone at 518-346-6204 and on line at proctors.org.
