JERSEY BOYS is the story of
Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons:
Frankie Valli,
Bob Gaudio,
Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This 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 sound and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty.
JERSEY BOYS opened at the
August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005. The JERSEY BOYS National Tour opened to rave reviews in San Francisco on December 1, 2006, played a record-breaking run in Los Angeles and is still breaking house records in cities across North America. When the Philadelphia return engagement launches in December, there will be six worldwide productions of JERSEY BOYS: New York, London, Las Vegas, Sydney, Australia, and two US National tours.
