The Pasadena POPS continue their popular outdoor summer concert series with The Midtown Men singing Music from Jersey Boys and Beyond on Saturday, July 15 at the LA County Arboretum. They took Broadway by storm in one of the biggest hits of all time. Now, The Midtown Men bring their Broadway talent, top-shelf choreography and unique onstage chemistry to the Arboretum to deliver a blast from the past celebrating the music that defined the '60s, led by Resident Pops Conductor Larry Blank. With hits from not only the Four Seasons, but the Beatles, Motown and more, they'll belt out old favorites like "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," "Get Ready," "Can't Buy Me Love" and more, in electrifying and soulful, one-of-a-kind concert experience.

This sensational production reunites Four Stars from the original cast of Broadway's Jersey Boys. Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer shared the Broadway stage for over 1,000 performances of the mega-hit production. Now as The Midtown Men, they have thrilled crowds on concert stages and symphony halls across the continent, and have delighted television audiences with performances on "Good Morning America," "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Access Hollywood" to name a few. The Men collaborated with rock and roll icon Stevie Van Zandt on their first radio single, "All Alone On Christmas," featuring Van Zandt and members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and their self-titled debut album "The Midtown Men: Sixties Hits" was met with critical acclaim.
