Chevalier Theatre Fills Bill With Diverse Lineup

What do Barney the Purple Dinasaur, poodle skirts and a Journey tribute band have in common?

They'll all be featured at Chevalier Theatre next month.

Theatre Commissioners are hoping the diverse lineup of upcoming acts will pay off.

In the span of a week, the theatre will host a doo-wop show, Journey tribute Captured and Barney.

The Journey tribute and doo-wop show alone have about $60,000 invested in them, said theatre commission member John Costas.

"We had some money and decided to invest in shows – hopefully we can end up making some money on it," Costas said.

"Barney's Birthday Bash," featuring Barney live in concert, is slated for June 18.

On Friday, June 24, The Doo-Wop Explosion will take the stage. The show features The Drifters and Shirley Alston Reeves, original lead singer of The Shirelle.

The next night, Journey tribute band Captured takes over the venue, with opening act Maneater - The Hall and Oates Experience.

And in October, The Fab Four, a Beatles tribute, will hit the Medford Square theater.
