"Due to scheduling conflicts with director, writer, and producer Stevie Van Zandt, the New York run for Once Upon A Dream Starring The Rascals has been canceled at this time," the show's producers said in a statement. "The producers hope to reschedule when Van Zandt's schedule, which involves balancing the filming of the third season of his Netflix show 'Lilyhammer,' and touring with Bruce Springsteen among other things, stabilizes."
The concert event, written by guitarist Steven Van Zandt, with music and lyrics by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati, played a limited Broadway engagement last spring at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Performances were scheduled through Jan. 5, 2014. Refunds are currently being offered.
Here's how the experience was billed: "A hybrid of a rock 'n' roll concert and a Broadway show, The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream marks the first time The Rascals, America's classic blue-eyed soul band, have played together since 1970. Original band members Felix Cavaliere (keyboard & vocals), Eddie Brigati (vocals), Dino Danelli (drums) and Gene Cornish (guitar) will present a complete concert performance including songs that captured the spirit of America in the 1960s — their smash hits 'Good Lovin',' 'Lonely Too Long,' 'It's a Beautiful Morning,' 'How Can I Be Sure' and 'Groovin'.' The production will also feature the history of the iconic group told through archival footage, narration, and dramatic film segments viewed on the latest LED screen technology."
