We love when many of our vocal groups make return appearances, but we also love to welcome new vocal groups to American Music Theatre. We can’t wait to hear what these amazing groups bring when they hit the AMT stage for the first time.
With recent appearances on Access Hollywood Live and EXTRA, Under the Streetlamp is making quite the name for themselves. These former cast members from the Chicago troupe of Jersey Boys have quite an extensive tour schedule, and can be seen in their own special on local PBS stations. “People often ask us why we call ourselves Under the Streetlamp. For us, that simple image epitomizes all the joy, intimacy, and passion wrapped up in the era of music we like to call the ‘American Radio Songbook.’ Thoroughly diverse and infused with an indomitable spirit, this music is iconically American.”

One of the preeminent men’s choruses in the world, the Alexandria Harmonizers have been electrifying audiences with tight harmonies and high-energy choreography for over 60 years. With nearly 100 men, from ages 18 to 81, their renowned “wall of sound” has led to numerous 
prestige performances and 17 international competition medals, including four world championships. On a Harmonizers web post, submitted by Steve Lingo, he said of D.C.’s premier show chorus, “You’ll need to pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge!”

Over the years, The Lennon Sisters have been the inspiration for questions on Jeopardy, Family Feud, PEOPLE magazine crossword puzzles and Trivial Pursuit.

AMT’s Artistic Director, Andrea McCormick, wrote, choreographed, and is directing the show. “I’m excited for folks to see Country Classics … we’re tipping our hat to some of country 
music’s greatest songs and singers,” Andrea said. “Our Cast and Band are celebrating the music of some amazing country artists like Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Lynn Anderson, John Denver, and many more. In addition to this wonderful music, folks will be immersed in all that is country with our beautiful sets and lighting, country-inspired costumes, and a comfy, rustic, outdoor feel.”
Andrea has incorporated almost 50 timeless standards into Country Classics. “It was so much fun to select the music for this show.

Jungle Jack Hanna will be bringing some of his fun, phenomenal friends to visit on Sunday, April 29. Jack’s love for animals began at a very early age. He writes on his website, “I got my first job when I was 11 working for our family veterinarian, Dr. Roberts, in Knoxville, Tennessee. I spent a lot of time 
cleaning cages, but didn’t mind because I loved being around all the animals. I worked with Dr. Roberts for several summers, and developed a great respect for animals.” Jungle Jack has had several animal adventure TV shows over the years, and is excited about his newest, Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown.
