The Rascals to reunite on Broadway
The American blue-eyed soul group are to reunite on Broadway when they bring their show The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream to Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre for 15 performance only from 15 Apr - 05 May 2013.
A hybrid of a rock n roll concert and a Broadway show, The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream marks the first time The Rascals, America's classic blue-eyed soul band, have played together since 1970.
Original band members Felix Cavaliere (keyboard & vocals), Eddie Brigati (vocals), Dino Danelli (drums) and Gene Cornish (guitar) will present a complete concert performance including songs that captured the spirit of America in the 1960's, such as their hits 'Good Lovin,' 'Lonely Too Long,' 'It's a Beautiful Morning,' 'How Can I Be Sure' and 'Groovin.' The production will also feature the history of the iconic group told through archival footage, narration, and dramatic film segments.
Directed by Steven Van Zandt and Marc Brickman, with music by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati, The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream has stage, video and lighting design by Brickman and has music production and is written by Steven Van Zandt.
The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream made its debut at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. Originally scheduled to play three performances in Dec 2012, an additional three shows had to be added to acommodate the demand.
Producer Steven Van Zandt said,
When The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream sold out at the Capitol Theatre, and performances had to be added this past December, we saw very clearly that there is an enduring love for the music of The Rascals. The Rascals created music that inspired a generation - and that feeling has lived on through their original fans and the legions of new fans that have discovered their music over the years. There is no better place than Broadway to celebrate this extraordinary reunion!
