New York — Justin Guarini will star in Good Vibrations, premiering July 29 at Vassar College's new Martel Theater.
Good Vibrations, described as a high-energy celebration of the music of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, follows the romantic misadventures of a group of teens “on a life-changing odyssey” to the beaches of Southern California.
The workshop-like performance of the musical as it progresses is part of the New York Stage and Film's 20th-anniversary Powerhouse season at Vassar, in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Good Vibrations will run through Aug. 1.
Guarini, 25, is most famous for finishing second in the first American Idol season on Fox television. He starred in the 2003 film, From Justin to Kelly, with fellow Idol Kelly Clarkson.
