NEW YORK—The important thing about second chances is being able to recognize them when they come round. In the new Broadway musical “Gettin' the Band Back Together,” Mitch Papadopoulos and his pals learn this very lesson.

Mitch (Mitchell Jarvis) is a failed stockbroker. Fired from his Wall Street job (which he hated anyway), he finds himself, at the age of 40, forced to move back home to Sayreville, New Jersey, and live with his widowed mother (Marilu Henner).
