Performed by special arrangement with Davenport Theatrical Enterprises, Inc. and Roy Putrino, previews will begin Sept. 24 prior to an official opening Oct. 4. Performances will continue through Oct. 27.

The new musical features a book by Ken Davenport and The Grundelshotz, with additional material by Sarah Saltzberg, and music and lyrics by Mark Allen. The Grundleshotz is a group of performers and writers comprising Sebastian Arcelus, Fred Berman, Michael Hirstreet, Jenna Coker Jones, Craig Jzorack, Nathan Kaufman, Jay Klaitz, Emily McNamara, Jennifer Miller, Bhavesh Patel, Sarah Saltzberg and Fletcher Young, who helped develop Gettin’ The Band Back Together through a series of improvisational rehearsals.

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. Individual tickets, priced $38-$62, are on sale by calling (732) 246-7717 or visiting www.GSPonline.org. George Street Playhouse is located at 9 Livingston Avenue, in the heart of New Brunswick.
