THE RASCALS: ONCE UPON A DREAM opened on Broadway April 16th and runs this spring for 15 performances only at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th Street). BroadwayWorld was there for all of the opening night festivities and brings you interviews with the band members below!

Ya gotta love those 60s bands with their matching outfits.  The Beatles had their buttoned up suits and ties and Paul Revere and The Raiders wore mod colonial getups, but perhaps the craziest rocker look ever broadcast into American homes was the schoolboy ensemble worn by a band then known as The Young Rascals.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK: MOTOWN opens on Broadwy, the Gyspy Robe gets passed on, BIG FISH is introduced to Chicago, and so much more!
