How did four blue-collar kids become one of the greatest successes in pop music history? Find out at Broadway’s runaway smash-hit, Jersey Boys. The Tony Award-wining Best Musical of the 2006 takes you up the charts, across the country and behind the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

As Clive Barnes in the New York Post says, “It’s just too good to be true.” Discover the secret of a 40-year friendship: four blue-collar kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. And experience electrifying performances of the golden greats that took these guys all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,”Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,”Dawn,”My Eyes Adored You,” and more. The New York Times says, “The crowd goes wild!"

Reviews

  • In a year in which one pop-songbook show after another has thudded and died, "Jersey Boys" passes as silver instead of as the chrome-plated jukebox that it is..."Jersey Boys" has the advantage of featuring singers that actually sound like the singers they are portraying and a technology-enhanced band that approximates the original sound of their music...While "Jersey Boys" is based on fact, it rarely leaps over the clichés of a regulation grit-to-glamour blueprint...Once the Four Seasons classics are rolled out, every other pair of shoulders in the house starts a-twitchin'.

    - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

  • One big thing this show has that others of the genre don't is a director, Des McAnuff, who puts a really stylish gloss on it...The other thing it has is John Lloyd Young, a singer with an astounding voice, who effortlessly imitates Valli's signature, a powerful falsetto...The book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is a little long on narration, and you may find your eyes glazing over until the point, two-thirds of the way through the first act, when the boys break into television with an appearance on "American Bandstand." From that point on, though, you snap awake and happily ride the wave...It's the music that counts, and it's sheer joy.
