While the narrow venue did not allow for the best viewing enjoyment of the bow tie-wearing a cappella group, the vocalists not only used their singing chops to capture the attention of their audiences, but also used witty side commentary to get chuckles rippling throughout the room.

The Krocks kicked off their performance with their signature sarcastic humor, telling the audience that they would be performing Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and that the show would run three hours and 47 minutes and then later inviting a girl from the audience onto the stage singing, “What’s your name?”

The audience members were especially delighted when the singers took center stage one by one and introduced themselves, their hometowns and majors all in Korean.

Active on stage, the Harvard Krokodiloes perform more than 200 times a year, including shows for kings, presidents and ambassadors across the world. In addition to gaining high acclaim for their long-time history of syncing harmonies, the men have been invited to perform on some of the world’s most prestigious venues including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
