It's summer and the temperature's rising when suddenly every beach on the Jersey Shore is threatened with closure: The water is too polluted for swimming! That is until Rob -- a small town pool technician -- stumbles upon an opportunity that will change his life and save the sea. But when a local handy man's lust for power and revenge threatens Rob's world, the two rivals are thrust into battle to restore the ocean and win the heart of a woman they both love. How Deep Is The Ocean? is a musical comedy about love, lust, and chlorine.

Native New Yorker Peter Cincotti began became the youngest performer to ever headline at the prestigious Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in New York at age 18, and his brilliant compositions have been delighting audiences worldwide since. In 2003, Peter’s debut album, produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, reached #1 on the Billboard jazz charts, making Cincotti the youngest artist to ever do so. This led to acclaimed performances at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and many other prestigious venues all over the world.
Peter made his acting debut in the Kevin Spacey film Beyond The Sea, and also contributed to the film’s soundtrack. He then made a cameo appearance in the blockbuster film Spider-Man 2. His original song 'December Boys' was featured in the Australian film December Boys, starring Daniel Radcliffe.
In 2006, Cincotti teamed up with world-renown music producer David Foster to record his first album of all original material for Warner Brothers Records entitled East Of Angel Town. The record went gold overseas and his single 'Goodbye Philadelphia' took the airwaves by storm reaching #1 throughout Europe’s Top Ten. In the spring of 2009, Cincotti brought the album to the United States by joining the artist Seal on his sold out American tour.
Peter explores musical styles that blend pop, rock, blues and jazz, infusing each new song he writes with originality and startling energy. His unparalleled piano skills and relevant song writing make Cincotti one of the most unique and socially aware artists in the music industry today, a sentiment that is freshly showcased on his newest album Metropolis, just released this May.
