Performed by eight snow-white ruby-lipped aliens with perfect harmony, there are no musical instruments, only vocals. VOCA PEOPLE believe music is the source of life that brings harmony, joy and refueling. A performance bursts with over 70 well known songs that create vocal "fireworks" and leave audiences clapping along and snapping their fingers. VOCA PEOPLE is the musical theater event that bridges languages, cultures, and planets.

WOR Radio cheers "GREAT FUN! You'll love it," The Village Voice exclaims "Cirque du Soleil Meets Manhattan Transfer!" and Broadway World applauds "You Can't Help But Marvel At Their Sheer Talent!"

Originally a YouTube sensation, VOCA PEOPLE has had intergalactic success with sold-out tours in Europe, South America, the Middle East, Mars and Uranus.
