The Hanover Theatre Presents UNDER THE STREETLAMP

Under the Streetlamp is a concert celebration of classic hits of the American Radio Songbook from the 1950s to the 1970s, featuring former leading cast members of hit Broadway musicals including "Jersey Boys." The popular group comes to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts for one night only on November 16 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are now on sale to theatre members and go on sale to the public Friday, September 8 at 10 a.m.

Under the Streetlamp features tight harmonies and slick dance moves that take audiences back to an era of sharkskin suits, flashy cars and martini shakers - a flashback to a time when, on hot summer nights, people would gather under a streetlamp to sing their favorite rock and roll songs. Classic hits first performed by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, The Beatles, Roy Orbison, Bobby Darin and more are reborn for today's audiences in this evening of great music and hilarious behind-the-scenes tales, complete with an exceptional seven-piece band composed of world-class musicians.

With irresistible charm and rapport, Under the Streetlamp offers audiences the opportunity to get to know four critically acclaimed stars of stage and screen, Eric Gutman, Christopher Kale Jones, Brandon Wardell and Shonn Wiley. While each performer gets his moment in the spotlight, 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 television.

"We think of ourselves as hosts to a party - and we've invited people of all ages," Wiley said. "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."

The show's original 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 in 2014. The four gifted singers are currently on tour in support of their third PBS Special, "Rockin' Round The Clock," thrilling sold-out houses throughout the country.
