FREEZE FRAME: Meet the Cast of GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER

The band is getting back together! Gettin' The Band Back Together, the upcoming new Broadway musical comedy, which is directed by Tony Award winner John Rando and choreographed by Chris Bailey, will begin preview performances on July 19 at the Belasco Theatre (111 W 44th Street) with the official opening set for August 13. See our first encounter with the cast below!

Juggernaut band members Mitchell Jarvis (Mitch Papadopoulos), Jay Klaitz(Bart Vickers), Manu Narayan (Dr. Rummesh "Robbie" Patel), Paul Whitty(Michael "Sully" Sullivan), Sawyer Nunes (Ricky "Bling" Goldstein) will be joined by Marilu Henner ("Mitch's Mom," aka Sharon Papadopoulos), Kelli Barrett (Dani), Becca Kötte (Tawney), Garth Kravits (Ritchie), Tamika Lawrence (Roxanne Velasco), Noa Solorio(Billie), and Brandon Williams(Tygen Billows). The ensemble will include Ryan Duncan, Nehal Joshi, J. Elaine Marcos, Rob Marnell, Jasmin Richardson, and Tad Wilson.

Mitch Papadopoulos always dreamed about being the next Bon Jovi, but he chose security over stardom and left those daydreams behind for a day job. For a while he thought he had everything - the high paying job, the high-rise apartment - until his 40th birthday when he got handed a pink slip and had to move back in with his mom in Sayreville, New Jersey.

And when his high school arch nemesis threatens to foreclose on their house, this big-shot banker must save his small-town home the only way he can... by winning The Battle of the Bands.

So he dusts off his guitar, gathers his old gang, and sets out to win the battle... and maybe even win back the high school sweetheart he left behind... proving it's never too late to give your dreams one last shot.
