Their reunion shows, dubbed 'Once Upon A Dream', are produced and directed by "Little Steven" Van Zandt (founding member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and a well known musician in his own right) plus lighting and projection wizard Marc Brickman (Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Blue Man Group, the Olympics, and Roger Waters' recent 'The Wall' tour).

Steven Van Zandt sought to reunite the influential group, best known for such songs as Good Lovin’ and Groovin’, since the 1980s. He says the shows will be a hybrid of a live concert and a Broadway show, through a mixed-media presentation of a theatrical event. Explains Steven:

"The four original guys will be performing, as they would in a regular concert, with a couple other elements mixed in – their own narration of their story, the history of the Rascals, done on these big screens, and then segments of actors playing them at critical points in their career."

Steven has started a fund-raising campaign on kickstarter.com to help underwrite the production, although he intends to finance it himself even if no donations are raised.
