BWW Column: Five Things About... the JERSEY BOYS Movie
by Matt Tamanini

Released in June 2014, the movie tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Based on the Tony and Grammy winning musical of the same name, the film adaptation went through a number of iterations during development.
