'Jersey Boys' Breaks Chicago Box Office Record for 3rd Time

Broadway In Chicago and TheatreDreams are thrilled to announce the Chicago engagement of Jersey Boys has set a new house record for the third time since opening in October at the LaSalle Bank Theatre.  For the week ending Sunday, November 25, the show grossed $1,244,001.62.

Tickets for performances through July 13, 2008 are currently on sale.  Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, premiered in Chicago at the LaSalle Bank Theatre (18 W. Monroe) on October 5, 2007.

Jersey Boys stars Drew Gehling as Bob Gaudio, Chicagoan Michael Ingersoll as Nick Massi, Jeremy Kushnier as Tommy DeVito and Jarrod Spector as Frankie Valli, with Craig Laurie and Chicagoan Jonathan Weir.

Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, Jersey Boys won four 2006 Tony Awards including Best Musical and continues to break box office records at the August Wilson Theatre since opening in November 2005.  Jersey Boys 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.

"Jersey Boys is the story of how a 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 sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty," explain press notes.
