Cherry Hill a capella singers to star on Lifetime
Lifetime's announced a new docu-series that will follow two "elite" a capella groups from New Jersey, including Cherry Hill East High School's Stay Tuned, in weekly competitions.
With "Pitch Perfect 2" hitting theaters later this month, Lifetime's announced a new docu-series, tentatively titled "Sing It!" and already in production, that will follow two "elite" a capella groups from New Jersey, including Cherry Hill East High School's Stay Tuned, "as they are given a chance to work with the world's best coaches and face off in weekly competitions."
Coaching the Cherry Hill East singers: Deke Sharon, a singer and composer who was music director and arranger for both "Pitch Perfect" films.
According to Lifetime, he's also "founder, director and arranger for the pioneering a cappella group House Jacks and has shared the stage with countless music legends, including Ray Charles, James Brown, Crosby Stills and Nash, Run DMC, The Temptations, LL Cool J and the Four Tops, and performed for luminaries including President Bill Clinton."
Singing against the Cherry Hill singers is a group the somewhat geographically challenged Lifetime described as Stay Tuned's "cross-town rival," The Voices, from Bergen County's Allendale.
Lifetime's press site says the show will premiere in August.
