To celebrate JERSEY BOYS 10-year anniversary on Broadway, the group's real-life leader, Franike Valli and its main songwriter Bob Gaudio, joined TODAY's Kathie Lee and Hoda to talk about the impact the show has had on their lives.

As JERSEY BOYS celebrates its 10th year on Broadway, its stars brought sweet harmony to the TODAY studio with stellar performances of the Four Seasons hits 'Beggin' and 'December, 1963 (Oh What a Night).'

From fluffy entertainments to serious dramas, JERSEY BOYS has helped the jukebox musical grow.

Today, November 3rd, Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio will stop by the 10 am hour, followed by a live performance from the cast of JERSEY BOYS on NBC's TODAY. BWW will bring you video as soon as it becomes available this morning!

As of the performance tonight, Tuesday, September 22, the Tony, Olivier and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Jersey Boys will surpass MISS SAIGON with 4,093 performances, becoming the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, directed by Utah Shakespeare Festival Founder Fred C. Adams, is a huge hit, which has prompted the Festival to add two matinee performances of this hilarious battle of the sexes. The additional shows will be at 2 p.m. on August 5 and 18 in the Auditorium Theatre. The production runs through September 5, 2015. Scroll down for a look at the show!

The Man in Black led a colorful life that both reflected and transcended his humble beginnings. RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH, which runs Jan. 17 through Feb. 15 in the Playhouse's Robert S. Marx Theatre, celebrates the incomparable legacy of J.R. 'Johnny' Cash, one of the most popular entertainers of all time.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis has produced something truly special with their current presentation of RING OF FIRE - THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH. This is a biographical musical with broad appeal to people of all ages. Created by Richard Maltby, Jr. and conceived by William Meade, the show chronicles the life and times of Johnny Cash from his humble upbringing to his final breath, and it captures it all with over 30 memorable tunes that showcase his wonderful catalog of material, while touching on key events that shaped the "Man in Black", and his beliefs. Ring of Fire is an incendiary delight that will have audiences singing and clapping along to the beat of a man who overcame his personal demons to become a very fondly remembered icon in the world of music. I cannot recommend this show highly enough. You'll simply have to see it for yourself! I personally guarantee that you will be absolutely floored by what you witness. So get your tickets now, because they're going to go fast.
