Have We Got A Story For You.
The Global Smash-Hit
Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier-winning Best Musical!
They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a look, an attitude, and a sound like no other… and the radio just couldn’t get enough. 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. Go behind the scenes — and behind the music — of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the true-life international musical phenomenon, JERSEY BOYS. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and featuring the legendary hits “Sherry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” and “December, 1963 (Oh What A Night),” this is the musical that’s just too good to be true. Sure, they were born in Jersey. But they were made in America.
Appropriate for 12+ due to some language.

“TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! It’s terrific! The cast is plain wonderful. The book is as tight and absorbing as an Arthur Miller play. Jersey Boys is a show dynamically alive in music while, as a drama, it catches the very texture, almost the actual smell, of its time.” – Clive Barnes, The New York Post
With Jersey Boys, the Broadway musical has finally done right by the jukebox, presenting the Four Seasons’ infectiously energetic 1960s tunes as they were intended to be performed. – Time Out NY
