 Jersey Boys is the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. 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,” “Oh What a Night,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and “Working My Way Back To You.”

 Jersey Boys opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6^th, 2005, running 11 Record Breaking Years and becoming the 12^th longest running show in Broadway history. The boys said goodbye to Broadway on January 15^th, 2017. The Jersey Boys US National Tour opened to rave reviews in San Francisco on December 1^st, 2006, and is still breaking house records in cities across North America. Jersey Boys is also currently playing in London, and tours of the United Kingdom and Australia will begin the end of 2017 and 2018 respectively. Jersey Boys worldwide has been seen by over 24 million people.
