Due to popular demand, Dodger Theatricals and Dancap Productions Inc., announce additional Toronto performances for the smash hit musical Jersey Boys, now playing at the Toronto Centre for the Arts (5040 Yonge Street) through November 9, 2008.

"The Four Seasons once sang 'Who Loves You?' and audiences have answered with a resounding 'Toronto Does!'," says Aubrey Dan, President of Dancap Productions. "Ticket sales have exceeded expectations and Dancap is pleased to deliver more Jersey Boys by extending the Toronto production through November 9, 2008."

Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It's a journey 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.

The cast of Jersey Boys is lead by Joseph Leo Bwarie (Frankie Valli), original Broadway cast member Steve Gouveia (Nick Massi), Canadian-native Jeremy Kushnier (Tommy DeVito) and Andrew Rannells (Bob Gaudio) with Jonathan Hadley and Joseph Siravo.

The ensemble of Jersey Boys includes: Matt Bailey, Sarah Darling, Christopher DeAngelis, John Gardiner, Buck Hujabre, Leo Huppert, Jamie Karen, Renée Marino, Brandon Matthieus, Denise Payne, Zachary Prince, Nathan Scherich, Brian Silverman, Courter Simmons, Taylor Sternberg, and Torontonian Kara Tremel.

Jersey Boys is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award® and the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. The musical is directed by two-time Tony Award® winner and Toronto-native Des McAnuff, 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 another native Torontonian.
