As announced earlier today on his popular industry blog The Producer's Perspective, Tony Award-winning producer Ken Davenport (It's Only a Play, Kinky Boots, ...Madison County) wants YOU, the public, to help choose the logo for the upcoming Broadway production of the new musical GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER.

"I've sat around many a conference room table discussing logo designs for shows," said Ken Davenport. "The funny thing is, the people around that table, usually never pay for their theater tickets! How could we really know what drives a theatergoer's interest in a show? So, rather than leave it up to those folks around the table, I thought I'd let the public help choose our logo!"

Starting today, the public can vote on one of three prospective logos by visiting the show's official website, www.GettinTheBandBackTogether.com.

Voting will end on Wednesday, September 3, and the winning logo art, created by the famed Broadway advertising agency SpotCo, will be used as the official logo for the show's forthcoming Broadway run.

Featuring music and lyrics by Mark Allen, book by Ken Davenport and The Grundleshotz, and additional material by Sarah Saltzberg, GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER is a rockin' valentine to the Garden State, directed by Tony Award winner John Rando (Urinetown). Hailed by The New York Times as "playful, good-natured and genuinely funny," the critically acclaimed new musical had its world-premiere production at George Street Playhouse last fall (September 24 - October 27, 2013). The original cast recording is now available on iTunes.

When Mitch Papadopoulous gets fired from his Wall Street job on his 40th birthday, he has no choice but to move back in with his mom ... in New Jersey.

On his first day back, his best friend from high school suggests that they "get the band back together!" Mitch thinks his buddy is crazy. But when his arch nemesis from high school threatens to foreclose on his house unless he agrees to a re-match of their infamous battle of the bands, Mitch realizes he may have no choice.

GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER is produced by Ken Davenport (It's Only a Play, Kinky Boots, ...Madison County), Hunter Arnold (Mothers and Sons, ...Madison County), Roy Putrino (It's Only a Play), Richard Roth and Carl Daikeler (...Madison County, Macbeth).

The Grundleshotz is a group of performers and writers comprised of Sebastian Arcelus, Fred Berman, Michael Hirstreet, Jenna Coker Jones, Craig Jorczak, Nathan Kaufman, Jay Klaitz, Emily McNamara, Jennifer Miller, Bhavesh Patel, Sarah Saltzberg and Fletcher Young, who helped develop GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER through a series of improvisational rehearsals.
