If Hairspray had a yearbook, these would absolutely be the cast captions 👑✨ We asked the cast what they’d be “most likely to” in the halls of The Corny Collins Show… and the answers did NOT disappoint 💄🕺📸

Which one would YOU vote for? 👀

Words can’t express how much we love our Silver Singers! We had such an incredible time at the friends and family showcase last week, and hearing these talented singers was such a treat. We want to extend a big thank you to the Sahm Family Foundation and Tippett Foundation for making the magic in that room possible. This wouldn’t have been possible without you!

Berkley Hart Selis Twang is a powerhouse Americana collaboration, uniting acclaimed singer-songwriters Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart with celebrated vocalist Eve Selis and her longtime guitarist Marc “Twang” Intravaia. What began as a natural musical chemistry between two beloved duos quickly evolved into a richly collaborative project defined by soaring four-part harmonies, heartfelt storytelling, and an unmistakable West Coast sound rooted in the traditions of folk, country, and rock.

Berkley Hart Selis Twang will perform on the Ray Charles Stage on June 21st at 7:30pm. Tickets are already selling fast - don't delay!
