Dream Street: Difference between revisions

 

==History==

The group was initially put together by music producers Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow. Originally named 'Boy Wonder' (a name borrowed from the nickname of [[comic book]] character Robin from the [[Batman]] comics and films), the band featured several boys aged 12–14 from the New York Broadway/Acting scene.<ref>{{cite web |author=MacKenzie Wilson |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/dream-street-mn0000199277/biography |title=Dream Street &#124; Biography & History |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=2020-04-10 |archive-date=April 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190411053217/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/dream-street-mn0000199277/biography |url-status=live }}</ref> Baldonieri and Lukow hoped to make an impact on the pop music industry by introducing a group of teenagers to the scene, all of whom had prior stage-singing experience. Among these original members were former [[The Broadway Kids]] members [[Greg Raposo]] and [[Chris Trousdale]], who would continue on into the remade group from 1999 until 2002. The lineup was changed not long after they debuted the show in front of several talent agents and [[record label]] reps. Their debut included a tap dance number and a jazzy theme song, both of which were sacked quickly after. It also included a cover of the popular song from the musical ''[[Rent (musical)|Rent]]'' "Seasons of Love".
