Jersey Boys The boys are back as the original Tony® Award-winning sensation returns for its 20th Anniversary Tour!
Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the true-life musical phenomenon, Jersey Boys. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true.
Photo by Mark Senior.
They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on-stage, off-stage it was a very different story – a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Beggin’, December 1963 (Oh, What a Night!) and more. Jersey Boys may be inappropriate for children ages 12 and under. Flashing strobe lights, loud gunfire, theatrical haze, herbal cigarette smoke and authentic, profane New Jersey vocabulary are used in this production.
