Bass Performance Hall Welcomes The Midtown Men 10/26

Performing Arts Fort Worth welcomes The Midtown Men to Bass Performance Hall on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets start at $38.50 and will go on sale THIS Saturday at 10:00 a.m.!

The Midtown Men is a four-piece singing group comprised of four original cast members of Jersey Boys, the wildly popular Broadway musical based on the career of pop group Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. The Midtown Men consists of Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee and onetime North Texan J. Robert Spencer.
The group is touring behind its recent debut album, The Midtown Men: Sixties Hits, which features the Men tackling some of their favorite songs from the 1960's, including "California Dreamin'," "Happy Together" and "Up on the Roof." Live, the ensemble mixes ‘60s hits such as these with classic songs from Jersey Boys.

The Midtown Men's musical journey began when the members starred together in the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys. The four actors/singers shared the stage for more than 1,000 performances and can be heard on the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum Original Cast Album. "We found our own unique sound and chemistry recreating the music of the Four Seasons," says Longoria. "And we continue to discover the magic of that truly amazing era in rock music."

J. Robbins Spencer spent five years as a North Texan, living in Plano, where much of his family still resides. After graduating cum laude from the musical theater program at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va., he landed a swing role in the musical Side Show. Eventually, he was cast as Nick Massi in Jersey Boys, a role he held from October, 2005 to September, 2008.
Spencer's next role, as Dan Goodman in the Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical Next to Normal, garnered him a Tony nomination for Best Performance as a Leading Actor in a Musical.
