Jersey Boys Shatters August Wilson House Record Again

Jersey Boys, the Tony Award-winning musical that tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, has set a new house record at the August Wilson Theatre for the second week in a row, grossing $1,104,169.00 for the week ending August 13, 2006.   The show also had the highest seating capacity of any show on Broadway:  100.5%.

Jersey Boys is the winner of the 2006 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The musical is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe, and directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff.

Jersey Boys "is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), Bob Gaudio (Daniel Reichard), Tommy DeVito (Christian Hoff) and Nick Massi (J. Robert Spencer), 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," state press notes.

The musical opened to critical acclaim at the August Wilson Theatre on November 6, 2005.  The national tour will begin this fall in San Francisco.

The cast recording available now on Rhino Records.
