Samford’s Wright Center to Open New Series With The Midtown Men

The Midtown Men will bring their musical salute to the 1960s to Samford University’s Wright Center Concert Hall on Oct. 21. The foursome will sing hits of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Jackson Five, The Mamas and the Papas, the Four Seasons and others in a 7:30 p.m. concert.

The concert is the inaugural performance in a new Wright Center Presents series that celebrates the 35th anniversary of the concert hall.

The Midtown Men — Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer — first starred together in the original cast of Broadway’s “Jersey Boys.”

The Wright Center Presents 2011–12 series also will offer living gospel legends Blind Boys of Alabama with special guest Sara Watkins on Nov. 18, the spellbinding Peking Acrobats on March 27 and the internationally acclaimed Ballet Hispanico on March 30.

Tickets are available now through www.samford.edu/wrightcenter or the Samford box office at 205-726-2853.
