In 1956, while living in Gary, Indiana, Henry Farag received a small Crystal transistor radio as a Christmas present when he was 11-years-old. Farag would sneak off to find a quiet corner of his house, away from his 10 siblings and he would tune into the local radio station. The DJ of the times was Vivian Carter, and via that radio signal, she introduced Farag to some incredible R&B music. That music planted the seeds of what would develop into a storied career in the music industry for Farag.

The Signal: A Doo Wop Rhapsody recounts the story of Farag’s experiences growing up amidst this exciting musical chapter in the history of Gary, Ind. The live jukebox musical presents 21 popular Doo Wop hits intertwined with recreations of radio broadcasts that will transport the audience back to the romantic times of the 1950s.
