National Tour of Jersey Boys Extends to 3/25 in San Fran

The National Tour of the Tony® Award-winning Best Musical, JERSEY BOYS, will extend its run through March 25th at the Curran theatre (445 Geary Street) in San Francisco, CA.

National music writer Ben Fong-Torres recently made this observation about JERSEY BOYS: "Only a year after opening in Manhattan to ecstatic reviews, winning over even the critics who'd come to dread what they called 'jukebox musicals,' JERSEY BOYS is in San Francisco with a touring company and the same director, Des McAnuff, who staged it on Broadway."

JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, and how this group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty. JERSEY BOYS features such Four Season's hits as "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Sherry," "Walk Like A Man," "Oh, What A Night," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

JERSEY BOYS is directed by two-time Tony® Award-winner Des McAnuff, and is written by Academy Award winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
