JERSEY BOYS Comes to Playhouse on the Square in June

Oh, what a night! The Broadway smash hit, chronicling the rise and eventual breakup of the legendary doo-wop group Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, makes its Regional Premiere in the Bluff City! Featuring chart-toppers like “Sherry,” “Beggin,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Walk Like a Man.” Jersey Boys is an exciting walk down memory lane of the Golden Era of American Music.

*Audiences should note that the production features strong language and suggestive adult situations that could be offensive to some. *

Director, Michael Ingersoll (Jersey Boys Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles), returns to the Playhouse on the Square stage as showrunner for Jersey Boys.  Ingersoll put together a diverse creative team, including Nathan Thomas as Music Director and Resident Company Member Courtney Oliver* (Days of Rage) as Choreographer, to best showcase the lives of these unforgettable voices so often associated with the Golden Era of music.

Playhouse on the Square closes their momentous Season 54 with the critically acclaimed jukebox musical headlined by Bear Manescalchi (Jersey Boys) as Frankie Valli, Jeffrey Kelly (She Loves Me) as Tommy DeVito, Playhouse on the Square Resident Company Member Daniel Stuart Nelson (Little Shop of Horrors) as Bob Gaudio, and Garrett Whitworth (University of Memphis) as Nick Massi.
