Musical seeks a SoCal vibe

Surf’s up! “Good Vibrations,” a new musical using more than 30 Beach Boys songs, will open on Broadway in January.

The show will begin preview performances in early December at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. An opening date will be announced shortly.

“Good Vibrations” has a book by Richard Dresser and concerns a group of small-town teens who come to Southern California. It will be directed and choreographed by John Carrafa, who created the dance sequences for “Urinetown” and the Vanessa Williams revival of “Into the Woods.”
