ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY as recent leading cast members of the Tony Award-winning smash hit Jersey Boys, (the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons) join the SMSO to deliver the sounds of the sixties in an electrifying evening of unforgettable hits. You’re gonna hear-some-of-that-rock-and-roll-music, as well as doo-wop ditties, Motown melodies, and cool Rat Pack favorites.

Amazingly, these four guys, each a gifted performer, met playing a band onstage and later went on to form a real rock sensation of their very own. They have thrilled sold-out houses throughout the country and each carries with him an impressive list of credits. Between them, they have appeared on Broadway, in feature films, and on your television – including special appearances during their Jersey Boys tenure on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, The Primetime Emmy Awards, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Under the Streetlamp offers audiences the rare opportunity to get to know these rising stars of stage and screen as they relate hilarious and touching stories of a life lived in show business.
