THE MIDTOWN MEN Present NY and NJ Shows in May

The Midtown Men, 4 stars of the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys will bring the greatest hits of the '60s back home with two New York area shows on May 20th at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ and May 21st at BB Kings in New York City.
They were the stars who helped create one of the biggest Broadway hits of all time-JERSEY BOYS-the legendary show still delighting NYC audiences over 10 years later. They starred as the 4 Seasons and made Broadway magic for over 1000 performances together, winning Tony awards, a Grammy Award and nationwide acclaim along the way. In 2010 they did something never attempted by stars from a hit Broadway production-they created a new musical show by taking the same energy, the same excitement and applying it to the entire catalog of the 1960s...and so THE MIDTOWN MEN was launched.

This sensational production reunites Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer who star in this one-of-a-kind concert experience celebrating the music that defined the '60s. Now on their 6th national tour, THE MIDTOWN MEN have performed over 500 shows in every major US city and across Canada, and with more than 30 symphony and pops orchestras including the National Symphony in Washington, the Philly Pops and the Boston Pops. They have delighted television audiences with recent performances on "The Today Show", "Good Morning America," and "Access Hollywood", creating new magic with their unique, high energy versions of their favorite "Sixties Hits" from The Beatles, The Rascals, The Turtles, Motown, The Four Seasons and more.

But no matter where they tour, there's nothing like coming back to play where it all started. "We are blessed with incredible audiences all over the country but I have to admit that there's something really special about playing for our hometown fans in New York and New Jersey, " said Tony Award winner Christian Hoff. Daniel Reichard adds, "I think it's because these are the people who saw Jersey Boys first and have known us and supported us for over 10 years. By now we know so many of them personally and they've embraced us as family, and for that we're very grateful."

THE MIDTOWN MEN will be appearing on Friday, May 20 at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ at 8pm and at BB Kings Blues Club in NYC at 8pm on Saturday, May 21.

Besides playing nearly 100 shows a year, the Men have also been busy with other projects. They recently released their first radio single, "All Alone On Christmas," written and produced by rock icon and Sopranos and Lilyhammer star Steven Van Zandt and backed by Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. They were honored to perform the song at the White House for the National Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington DC.

And they've produced two hit public television specials, The Midtown Men Live in Concert and their new PBS show, Meet the Midtown Men, which goes behind the scenes and behind the songs to get an inside look at the Men and their music. It recently aired in the metro New York area and is currently running in markets nationwide.
