"Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, about a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who 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," describe press notes.

Jersey Boys premiered at La Jolla Playhouse, October 17, 2004, where the musical played a record-breaking run prior to the Broadway production. Jersey Boys opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005 and remains among the five top grossing shows in New York.  Following record-breaking runs in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Jersey Boys is now playing in cities across the U.S. on a National Tour. Jersey Boys is also playing in Chicago and productions will open soon in London and Las Vegas.
