When Gettin' The Band Back Together opened this summer, Variety exclaimed, "It feels so good to laugh real laughs on Broadway." According to Deadline, "with high-spirited laughs and an exuberant cast, this playful musical is infectious." WCBS-FM Radio raved "It's rockin', sexy and flat-out funny."

Mitch Papadopoulos always wanted to be the next Bruce Springsteen, but he left those daydreams behind for a day job. When this big-shot banker is handed a pink slip on his 40th birthday, he's forced to move back in with his mom in New Jersey. A run-in with his former music rival leads to a threat of foreclosure on Mitch's family home, unless he can win The Battle of the Bands-a rematch over 25 years in the making. So he dusts off his guitar, gathers his old gang, and sets out to win back his house, his pride-and maybe even the high school sweetheart he left behind-proving it's never too late to give your dreams one last shot.
