Gettin’ The Band Back Together, press notes state, "is the tale of Mitch – recently forty and cut loose from his job on Wall Street. Forced by finances to move back to his childhood home in Sayreville, NJ, Mitch – a fine musician thought to be the next Bon Jovi – reunites with his high school band mates in a high-stakes battle of the bands. Best buddies, old girlfriends, high school bullies who never grew up and one hot New Jersey momma make for fast times and the ultimate 'do-over' for this Jersey Boy."

The production also has orchestrations by Doug Katsaros, musical direction by Fred Lassen and choreography by Kelly Devine. Creating the world of the musical are scenic designer Derek McLane, lighting designer Ken Billington, costume designer Gregory Gale and sound designer Peter Fitzgerald.
