MPAC presents Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 11/14/2023


(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox brings its Life in the Past Lane tour to Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 7:30pm. Everything new is old again when you take a road trip to experience Life in The Past Lane!  Tickets range from $39-$79.

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox’s new show blends modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits with the original styles that put American popular music on the map: Ragtime, swing, big band, country/western, doo wop and soul.

Even in our futuristic age of AI chatbots and virtual realities, there is still nothing in the world that compares with the thrill of hearing classic genres of music, performed live by a group of exceptional singers and musicians that have truly mastered the ability to move an audience.

That’s the philosophy behind Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, whose Life In The Past Lane World Tour returns to 40 US cities this Fall. Equal parts time-traveling musical variety show and career-launching talent platform, Postmodern Jukebox (or “PMJ”) will feature a cast of performers from their wildly popular YouTube channel, to bring the musical universe to life.
