NOVEMBER 2014 THE MIDTOWN MEN LIVE IN CONCERT! The Midtown Men — Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award-nominee J. Robert Spencer — bring a Broadway pedigree and showmanship to the signature sounds of the Sixties. Their first public television special, The Midtown Men Live in Concert!, captures their popular live show on their fifth national tour, recorded in May 2014 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s Prudential Hall in Newark, New Jersey — a nod to the adopted ‘home town’ from these four stars of the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys. The men bonded backstage during their Broadway run as they embodied one of the biggest stories in popular music to rave reviews. Their discovery of a shared love of music from the Sixties, combined with their natural camaraderie was the genesis of the group. The Midtown Men Live in Concert! includes a collection of coast-to-coast 1960s hit songs from the era’s most popular artists. From New York City’s The Drifters and The Ronettes to Detroit’s Motown Sound from The Temptations and Smokey Robinson & The Miracles to the California cool of The Turtles, The Mamas & The Papas and The Association, The Midtown Men perform a jukebox of familiar hits with singular arrangements and precise choreography.
