The Midtown Men will bring a Rat Pack vibe to the hits of the 1960s when it opens the Warren Civic Music Association’s 2022-23 season Tuesday at Packard Music Hall.

The group evolved out of the long-running Broadway musical “Jersey Boys.” Daniel Reichard, Christian Hoff and J. Robert Spencer were part of the original Broadway cast, playing Four Seasons’ members Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi respectively (Hoff won the 2006 Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical).

Michael Longoria is one of the actors who followed John Lloyd Young, who originated the role of Frankie Valli, and Longoria also appeared on Broadway in “Hairspray.”

Midtown Men was born during the run of “Jersey Boys.”

“We started getting asked on occasions to go and sing at a celebrity’s birthday party or a gala,” Reichard said during a telephone interview. “We all left the show separately over the next year or two, and we kept getting asked to sing. We did it about a dozen times, all private performances. We realized, ‘We have a show.’ We kind of accidentally made a show that evokes the show business vibe of the Rat Pack, but instead of the songs of the 1940s and ’50s, it was the 1960s and the rock ‘n’ roll era.”

The first year they did between 30 and 40 gigs. By the second year, Midtown Men was up to 130 dates.

“We had no idea it would work,” Reichard said. “No cast had ever tried this before, to create your own band, your own show, to be yourself (on stage) but still be a group. We were kind of innovating a business model that was very uncharted.”

In the dozen years the foursome has performed as the Midtown Men, it’s recorded a PBS special and performed at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Symphony Hall in Boston and the Beacon Theater in New York.

Reichard grew up in Rocky River and graduated from St. Ignatius High School.

“I was the eighth of nine children, a big Irish Catholic family,” he said. “I was singing as soon as I started to talk. I’d do dialects. I was one of those kids who loved to shine and be funny and entertaining. I always dreamed of being a comic actor. Dean Martin was my idol growing up.”

One of his teachers at St. Ignatius encouraged him to focus on his singing voice and to attend the University of Michigan’s school of music, where he studied until moving to New York in 2000.

“My career started right away. I started working at some regional theaters, and in my second year in New York, I got the 20th anniversary of ‘Forbidden Broadway,’ which is the ‘Saturday Night Live’ of Broadway shows. It parodies all of the big musicals.

“I was a newbie. This was my first time in the New York Times, my first time with Stephen Sondheim in the audience watching me on stage. I had all of these amazing experiences.”

Then came “Jersey Boys.” Reichard was in his mid-20s when he was cast in the musical. He certainly knew songs like “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man” — “They’re as American as apple pie,” he said — but he didn’t know much about the vocal group’s history or about Gaudio, who started out as a singer before focusing on songwriting and producing.

“I loved the music of the ’60s as a boy, but I didn’t identify so much with the Four Seasons; I identified with the Beatles. I didn’t know anything about Bob Gaudio, who was one of the great songwriters of the 1960s and ’70s. Then all of the sudden I was deeply involved in the telling of their story for the first time.”

The Four Seasons’ body of work is an important part of the Midtown Men’s set, but the group also sings favorites by The Beatles, The Turtles, The Rascals and other ’60s acts while mixing in stories about their Broadway experiences and their careers.

“We were just in Texas this weekend, and the audience was roaring, applauding, cheering us,” Reichard said. “Having done this officially since 2010, it’s 12 years later and still having such a response lifted my heart up. It’s amazing we’re still working together and having that reaction from the audience.”
