Popular singing group Under the Streetlamp is returning to the Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd. in Aurora to perform live, one-show-only, Sunday, November 9 at 3 p.m.

Comprised of four leading cast members from the hit Broadway musical Jersey Boys (the subject of which was also a recent motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood), Under the Streetlamp performs classic hits from the American Radio Songbook with tight harmonies and slick dance moves that take audiences back to an era of sharkskin suits, flashy cars and martini shakers - a time when on hot summer nights, people would gather under a streetlamp to sing.

Tickets are $45 and $55. For tickets and information, go to ParamountAurora.com, call the Paramount box office, (630) 896-6666, or visit the box office Monday through Saturday,
10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or two hours prior to evening performances.

Classic hits come to life from Under the Streetlamp, in an evening of great music and hilarious behind-the-scenes tales, complete with an exceptional band comprised of world-class musicians. With irresistible rapport, Under the Streetlamp offers audiences the rare opportunity to get to know four stars of stage and screen, Michael Ingersoll, Michael Cunio, Christopher Kale Jones and Shonn Wiley.

While their individual talents are highlighted on stage, their synergy and charisma as a group has drawn an extremely devoted nationwide following. Each performer carries with him an impressive list of credits. Between them, they have appeared on Broadway, in feature films and on TV - including on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Primetime Emmy Awards and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

As Cunio relates, "We think of ourselves as hosts to a party - and we've invited people of all ages. They can sing along. They can dance in the aisles. We of course show respect for these great songs and we want everyone to leave the party smiling."

These talented performers met onstage as the lead characters in Jersey Boys and have since formed a concert sensation of their very own. After achieving initial success performing in and around Chicago, Under the Streetlamp aired its first PBS special in 2011 and a second PBS special in 2014. The four gifted singers then set off on the national tour that continues today, thrilling sold-out houses throughout the country. A second European tour is scheduled for Winter/Spring 2015.
