GMTWP Alum Mark Allen (Cycle 15) opened his new musical GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre this summer. Allen composed the score for the musical with book by Ken Davenport and Grundleshotz and additional material by Sarah Saltzberg. John Rando (URINETOWN) directed the production.
The show follows Mitch Papdopoulos (Mitchell Jarvis, Rock of Ages), who always wanted to be the next Bruce Springsteen but 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.
The show is currently playing on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre through September 16th.
