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.
Jersey Boys opened to rave reviews in Las Vegas on May 3, 2008. The production premiered at La Jolla Playhouse, October 17, 2004, where the musical played a record-breaking run prior to the Broadway production.
