Who's Playing at the Music Pier: A Week of Entertainment in Ocean City

Ocean City, NJ -- There will be plenty of entertainment for Ocean City residents and visitors next week at the Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace.

It begins Monday night, July 25, with George Thorogood and the Destroyers in concert, 7:30 p.m. as part of the Badder Than Ever tour. The catalog of classics includes “Who do You Love?,” “Move it On Over,” “Bad to the Bone” and more. Being able to share their music with others is all that matters to them.

Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com or 1-800-745-3000 or the Music Pier Box Office for cash or checks payable to Rose Relations.

The following morning brings a World Premiere production of “The Princess and the Pirate,” 10:30 a.m.
What do you think happens when a Princess lives right next door to a Pirate? It’s not easy staying prim, proper and polite with so much swashbuckling going on in your neighbor’s backyard. Tea time turns into a food fight, a phony treasure map leads to a royal abduction and a storm at sea brings more trouble. But with a little imagination, Captain Jackson and Princess Cecily figure out how to turn their rivalry into an unlikely friendship.
