press release: Under the Streetlamp is coming to the Barrymore Theatre for a live, one-night-only performance on Friday, March 8. Featuring former leading cast members of hit Broadway shows including Jersey Boys, 42nd Street, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Good Vibrations and Billy Elliott, Under the Streetlamp is a concert celebration of classic hits of the American Radio Songbook from the 1950s-1970s. Their shows feature tight harmonies and slick dance moves that take audiences back to an era of sharkskin suits, flashy cars and martini shakers. A flashback to a time when, on hot summer nights, people would gather under a streetlamp to sing their favorite rock and roll songs.
Classic hits first performed by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, Bobby Darin and more are reborn for today’s audiences in this evening of great music and hilarious behind-the-scenes tales, complete with an exceptional seven-piece band composed of world-class musicians. With irresistible charm and rapport, Under the Streetlamp offers audiences the opportunity to get to know four critically acclaimed stars of stage and screen, Eric Gutman, David Larsen, Brandon Wardell and Shonn Wiley. While each performer gets his moment in the spotlight, their synergy and charisma as a group has drawn an extremely devoted nationwide following.
Each performer carries with him an impressive list of credits. Between them, they have appeared on Broadway, in feature films and on television – including special appearances during the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square, on The Tonight Show, the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

It was followed up with their second special in 2014, Let the Good Times Roll and then their third national PBS pledge special in 2016, Rockin’ Round the Clock. Also in 2017, the guys release Harmonies for Healing, a two part docu-series aired on PBS station around the country, centered around a singing competition which shined a spotlight on the undeniable power of music to inspire and affect positive change in the lives of individuals in their communities.
