BSL Interpreted – Trained British Sign
Language signers stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as the actions are being performed.
Captioned – Similar to television subtitles, captions give patrons who are D/deaf, deafened or hard of hearing access to live performances. The actors’ words appear on display units at the side of the stage.
Touch Tour – Touch tour events offer immersive, sensory experiences tailored for blind and visually impaired audiences. These tours provide tactile exploration of stage sets, costumes and props before a performance, enhancing accessibility and connection to the show.
MobileConnect – The MobileConnect system amplifies the performance via your mobile phone or tablet. Audience members connected to the app will hear a live feed of the on-stage performance (with audio description, if attending an Audio Described performance), wherever they are sat in the auditorium.

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.
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.
