Adrenalize brings its Def Leppard show back to Mickey's Black Box

Nine months after its last Lititz date, the five-piece tribute is back on the Rock Lititz campus on Friday, Nov. 6.

Some rooms earn repeat business. On Feb. 27 this year, Adrenalize: The Ultimate Def Leppard Experience played Mickey's Black Box in Lititz. Next Friday, Nov. 6, it's back in the same room for an 8 p.m. show, and this time the cold weather will have arrived ahead of it.

The date is on sale through Ticketmaster and listed on the band's own site, which bills Adrenalize as a Def Leppard tribute built around the band's hits. The pitch is simple: you know the songs, they play the songs, you sing along. A tribute act lives or dies on how well it pulls that off, and the fact that the venue booked it twice in one calendar year says something about how the February show went.

The current lineup, per the band's own site, runs five deep: George Tsalikis on lead vocals, Damiano Christian and Jared Cannata on guitar, Lenny Lee on bass and Lee Nelson on drums. All five are credited with vocals as well, so the big choruses don't rest on one set of lungs, and that matters for a show built on fist-in-the-air hooks. Some older listings leave Nelson off, so the drum chair may have changed hands at some point; the billing for this run includes him.

Mickey's Black Box can go fully seated or open into a general-admission floor

The room is a big part of the draw. Mickey's Black Box sits on the Rock Lititz campus at 101 Rock Lititz Blvd. The venue describes itself as a 10,000-square-foot space that holds roughly 600 people and can go fully seated or open into a general-admission floor depending on the night. It books theatre, concerts and art shows alongside private events, and it runs in-house sound and lighting, two full bars and a canteen menu. For a band whose whole job is sounding like an arena record, a room set up for production rather than a corner stage in a bar is a real advantage, and 600 is close enough that you can see the fretboards from the back.

A few practical notes. Mickey's Black Box says its tickets are non-refundable unless the venue itself cancels the show, so settle your plans before you buy. Resale listings quote a wide range of prices, so buy through the venue's ticketing link rather than a secondary site if you want face value.

If you were there in February, you already know what you're getting. If you weren't, next Friday is the easy version: a short drive, a room with real sound, and a set of songs you never actually forgot the words to.
