Gettin' the Band Back Together - 2018 - Broadway History , Info & More

Belasco Theatre (Broadway)
111 West 44th St. New York, NY

The Tony Award-winning director of Urinetown returns to Broadway with Gettin' The Band Back Together, a hilarious new musical comedy that The New York Times calls, "A feel-good class act! A playful, irreverent, and genuinely funny musical."

He always wanted to be the next Bon Jovi, but Mitch Papadopoulos (Mitchell Jarvis, Rock of Ages) left those daydreams behind for a day job. When this big-shot banker is handed a pink slip on his 40th birthday, he's forced to move back in with his mom (five-time Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner, "Taxi") in New Jersey.

A run-in with his former music rival leads to a threat of foreclosure on Mitch's family home, unless he can win The Battle of the Bands- a rematch over 25 years in the making. So he dusts off his guitar, gathers his old gang, and sets out to win back his house, his pride- and maybe even the high school sweetheart he left behind- proving it's never too late to give your dreams one last shot.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Gettin' the Band Back Together

Gettin' the Band Back Together is a light, Jersey-fied new musical: EW review
6 / 10

To keep with the musical parlance of the title, Gettin' the Band Back Together is like hearing an artist cover a favorite song - it's not the first time you've heard it, and it might not be all that original, but you'll be smiling and tapping your feet just the same.

‘Gettin’ the Band Back Together’ Tries to Sell Truly Forgettable Mock Rock
5 / 10

Having sat through the sweaty, janky garbage fire Gettin' the Band Back Together, I strongly suspect that producer and book writer Ken Davenport has a chest tattoo that reads (in Gothic script), 'No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.' Davenport, who is also responsible for My First Time (about losing your virginity), The Awesome '80s Prom and That Bachelorette Show, seems to never hesitate in grabbing, shall we say, the fruit that hangs low.
