Live in the Arena on August 30th; Tickets on sale May 17th.

Following a critically acclaimed, sold out Broadway run, “The Rascals: Once Upon A Dream” takes on Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, August 30th for an 8:00pm show.  Playing together for the first time in 40 years, “The Rascals: Once Upon A Dream” is produced and directed by Steven Van Zandt and lighting/projection wizard Marc Brickman.  The show is completely original in its concept, a BioConcert.

Tickets are $45.00 and go on Friday, May 17th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call any Ticketmaster Charge by Phone number; 1.800.745.3000 or visit any Ticketmaster outlet.  Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, May 18th, subject to availability.

“The Rascals: Once Upon A Dream” is a Rock concert and a Broadway show, a Rock N’ Soul dance party meets the Jersey Boys. In addition to the concert experience, the history of The Rascals and the history of the ‘60’s are told through their music (in fact, at thirty songs, the most comprehensive concert they’ve ever done), and dramaticized by a combination of narration, filmed scenes of actors acting out key moments in the band’s history, news footage and archival footage of the band.

There are ele­ments of stag­ing and light design never seen before, just as Marc Brick­man has done in his pre­vi­ous ground­break­ing work with Bruce Spring­steen, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Blue Man Group, the open­ing cer­e­mony of the Olympics, and Roger Waters’ recent ‘The Wall’ tour. The show debuted at the The Capi­tol The­atre in Port Chester, New York.  The the­ater was uniquely qual­i­fied for this debut, as owner Peter Shapiro (Brook­lyn Bowl, Wet­lands, U2 3D) restored it to its 1926 mag­nif­i­cence while equip­ping it with a state of the art light­ing, pro­jec­tion, and sound system.

“To do jus­tice to the Ras­cals impor­tance, I’ve writ­ten a show for them that is just as unique as they are.  More than just a come­back or reunion, the show will remind audi­ences how uniquely inspi­ra­tional, enter­tain­ing, and his­tor­i­cally impor­tant the Ras­cals’ music is. Their music was unique not only in its great­ness, but through their hit sin­gles they told the entire story of the six­ties.” - Steven Van Zandt
