Brian Wilson, Co-Founder of the Beach Boys with Special Guest Al Jardine

True legends of American popular music, Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson and founding member Al Jardine, reunite to perform on the bergenPAC stage. A peerless producer and performer, Wilson is the genius behind the pop masterpiece Pet Sounds, ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and remains one of the most revered musical artists of the 20th Century. He is the subject of the new biographical film, Love & Mercy, starring John Cusack in the title role. An omnivorous consumer of jazz and pop music in his youth, Wilson was heavily influenced by the vocal harmonies of popular jazz a cappella group The Four Freshman, saying that their approach "brings a feeling of love inside me.... That feeling of harmony." He used that inspiration to create the basis of the Beach Boys' distinctive vocal sound, which has influenced legions of musicians to follow, including Paul McCartney and David Bowie.

He is one of popular music's most deeply revered figures, the main creative force behind some of the most cherished recordings in rock history. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to call Brian Wilson one of the most influential composers of the last century.

The show will also serve as a benefit for The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC with a VIP option which includes a $125 tax-deductible donation to The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC, VIP seating, a complimentary three month Bronze membership, a commemorative lanyard for the event, and access to the Cabaret Lounge for a special preshow reception in honor of The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC.

So Good For The Soul! A Tribute To The Music of Motown

Performed by a cast of 8 veteran entertainers and their band, including former members of The Jones, Main Ingredient, & The Marvelettes peppered with Broadway savvy performers who had leading roles in "Dream Girls", "Your Arms Too Short to Box With God", "Porgy & Bess" and "Showboat", So Good for the Soul is a box office bonanza.

This non-stop, high energy trip down memory lane features the songs America grew up with. Great attention to detail was paid by musical director Gary Kupper (currently riding the wave of his own Broadway hit show, "Freckleface Strawberry"). The iconic Motown Sound was recreated down to the slightest vocal and musical nuances - to emulate American icons like Marvin Gaye & Tammie Terrell, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lionel Richie, Mary Wells, and more. The look & feel of authenticity extends to costumes from Tony Award winning designer Evie Ross and classic Motown choreography from American Dance Theater director Terri Giordano.

Sing, dance & celebrate the music of your life to songs like "My Girl", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Reach Out", "Shop Around", "Dancin' In The Street", "Stop, In The Name Of Love", "Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" & "Uptight" - nearly 30 non-stop hits in all!

The truly talented and charismatic cast is a perfect blend of look, sound & personalities, which are tailor-made for the songs they perform. Cumulatively, the cast members have performed on recordings with over 30 million record sales and over 40 years of both on & off Broadway experience. The director, musical director, choreographer & costume designer have jointly won over 25 of America's most prestigious theater awards for their direction, choreography and staging.
