About this performance

Program: Jersey Boys (musical) by Bob Gaudio / Bob Crewe.

Jersey Boys tells the electrifying story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, one of the most successful pop groups in music history. This biographical jukebox musical chronicles the rise of four blue-collar kids from Newark who became international superstars, selling over 175 million records worldwide. Winner of four Tony Awards including Best Musical, Jersey Boys features over two dozen classic hits including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)." The musical offers an authentic behind-the-scenes look at the price of fame, exploring both the group's meteoric success and the personal struggles that came with it.

Expect an energetic celebration of 1960s pop music with powerhouse vocals and slick choreography that captures the era's distinctive sound and style. The show balances crowd-pleasing musical numbers with dramatic storytelling, revealing the gritty realities behind the polished performances. Jersey Boys appeals to multiple generations—older audiences who lived through the Four Seasons' heyday will experience waves of nostalgia, while younger theatergoers discover timeless songs they've likely heard without knowing their origins. The musical's episodic structure follows each band member's perspective, creating an intimate portrait of friendship, ambition, and the cost of success.
