The four men of Human Nature have established a tidy reputation on the Strip: Four white Aussies singing the hits of Motown.

Group founder Andrew Tierney has recited the line during every Human Nature show at The Venetian, eliciting a reliable laugh at the odd pairing of cultures. But before Human Nature ever performed on the Strip, their act was a healthy mix of songs old and new, famous covers sprinkled with a taste of originality.

It sounded like a jukebox, in fact. And so does this new Human Nature production.

Jukebox marks Human Nature’s formal departure from a full Motown set and a celebration of classic pop and rock ’n’ roll songs dating to the 1950s. The set list pops with such familiar classics as “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Stand By Me,” “Unchained Melody,” “Dance To The Music” and “Under The Boardwalk.” Also developed for the show is a Beatles medley (featuring a fiery take on “Got to Get You Into My Life”) and Dion’s “Runaround Sue.” which the guys conjured after hearing the song playing during a photo shoot in January.

There are a couple of “firsts.” A pair of ballroom dancers are being incorporated, Jami Jones and David Oliveri, late of Le Rêve at Wynn Las Vegas. Also, for the first time in their seven-year Vegas run, the guys are performing contemporary songs like “All About That Bass,” highlighting the plunging voice of Toby Allen. Another newbie is Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.” As always, the HN sound is filled by Phil Burton—who charts many of the group’s customized arrangements of the classics—and the high-rising soprano of Mike Tierney, Andrew’s younger brother.

The group, which last year celebrated its 25th anniversary performing as a unit, continues as a popular draw on the road, too. In January they performed with the Phoenix Symphony for two sold-out shows at the 2,000-seat Phoenix Symphony Hall. As is customary, an audience unfamiliar with the HN stage show was soon won over, and by the time the guys flew into “Dancing in the Streets,” the place was up and dancing.

Such an experience is a microcosm of their stay in Las Vegas. The group opened at the Imperial Palace (now The Linq) in May 2009, at about the same time as Jersey Boys opened at The Palazzo. Observers of the entertainment scene wondered if these Aussies could set themselves apart from that famed quartet representing the Four Seasons in a hit Broadway production.

But HN quickly proved they could deliver a uniquely appealing show, endorsed by none other than Motown legend Smokey Robinson. HN has consistently produced an upbeat show filled with throwback choreography, a set flashing with video images of their heroes, and a cracking band of top Vegas players known as the Funk Foundation. The group didn’t miss a beat (as it were) in a move to Sands Showroom in January 2013, but the four members recognized a need to advance the Strip show from its Motown theme.

“It’s been a collective effort and something we are all passionate about,” Andrew Tierney says. “We were fine with staying with Motown, but we were getting to the point where the Motown show had really run its course. We had to do something to freshen the show.”

And that result is Jukebox. As they say in the diner, tavern, and now Sands Showroom: Fire it up.
