Under the Streetlamp
When their successful run in the Chicago company of Jersey Boys ended, performers in the Tony-winning musical were all ready for their next gig. They’d formed a group, Under the Streetlamp, and their mission was to stand on the shoulders of the artists that created the classic hits from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s that they loved. With a unique blend of harmonies and slick dance moves, Under the Streetlamp played to sold-out audiences around Chicagoland, bringing to life the music of everyone from Bobby Darin to The Beatles. The talented musicians caught the eye of a local producer, who thought that their “nostalgic rebirth of retro rock ‘n roll” could have a home on PBS, where their sound would reach millions across the country. They filmed a short promo and presented it to WTTW, the PBS station in Chicago. The response? “You film a concert; we will be the presenting station.” Their first show, Under the Streetlamp Live, aired on PBS and led to tours around the country.
