The Midtown Men
The Midtown Men

New Brunswick, NJ (PRWEB) September 28, 2016 -- State Theatre New Jersey presents The Midtown Men on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at 8pm. The Midtown Men is a group featuring four of the original Broadway cast members of the Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning hit Broadway musical Jersey Boys. Tickets range from $35-$75.

They took Broadway by storm in one of the biggest hits of all-time. Now on their 7th national tour, The Midtown Men are bringing their magic to audiences everywhere, singing their favorite 60s hits from The Beatles, The Rascals, The Turtles, Motown, The Four Seasons, and more.

This sensational production reunites Four Stars from the Original Broadway Cast of Jersey Boys. Tony® Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard, and Tony® Award nominee J. Robert Spencer star in this one-of-a-kind concert experience celebrating the music that defined the '60s. These talented entertainers shared the Broadway stage for over a thousand performances in the mega-hit Jersey Boys. Now, as The Midtown Men, they’ve thrilled crowds on concert stages across the U.S., Canada, and in Beijing, performing over 600 shows and singing with 31 major symphony orchestras.

The Men recently released their first radio single, “All Alone on Christmas,” written and produced by rock icon and Sopranos and Lilyhammer star Steven Van Zandt and backed by Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. They were honored to perform the song at the White House for the National Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington DC.

The group has released two successful public television concert specials: The Midtown Men Live in Concert, taped at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s majestic Prudential Hall, and Meet the Midtown Men, which goes behind the songs to get an inside, personal look at the Men and their music. Both are currently airing in markets nationally.

Their recent show at NYC's famed Beacon Theater was a sellout smash and featured guest stars Shirley Alston Reeves from the Shirelles, La La Brooks from The Crystals, Gene Cornish from The Rascals, and Petula Clark, who had 3000 people up on their feet for “Downtown.”

CHRISTIAN HOFF
Christian Hoff won a Tony® Award for his performance as Tommy DeVito in Jersey Boys, as well as receiving Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations. He was named “The Master of Mimicry” by Entertainment Weekly when his voicing of over 200 characters surpassed the audio book world record and was named Audio Book of The Year. His voice-over career was launched as the voice of Richie Rich in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series. Favorite stage roles include King Herod in the national revival tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, Governor Hugh Dorsey in the Los Angeles revival of Parade, the Original LA cast of Evita, George M. Cohan in George M!, Will Rogers in The Will Rogers Follies, Huck in Big River, and his Broadway debut in the Tony® Award-winning The Who’s Tommy. He recorded Grammy® winning cast albums for both Jersey Boys and The Who’s Tommy with famed Beatles producer George Martin. Christian has appeared on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU, ABC’s Ugly Betty, NBC’s Law and Order: Criminal Intent and ABC's All My Children.
