Come see the Jersey Boys, an award winning musical about one of the biggest musical groups of the 1960s, live in 2013! The Jersey Boys is a musical, done documentary style, about the 1960s musical sensation The Four Seasons.

The show opened in 2005, and has toured America, Europe, Australia, Singapore, and Africa. The Singapore production of Jersey Boys features an all South African cast, and these shows will start in Johannesburg, South Africa in the spring of 2013.
The Broadway production of Jersey Boys has run for more than 22oo performances, the 25th longest running show appearing in the history of Broadway. The first national tour for the production began on December 10th of 2006. After performing in San Francisco and Los Angeles, a second company of actors debuted and performed until September of 2007, before starting a run of performances in Chicago.

December of 2010 was the 4th anniversary of the award winning show, and they kicked off another run of shows in San Francisco’s Curran Theatre. The show has broken box office records in Philadelphia, and has played to crowds of enthusiastic fans in Boston.

The show is frequently performed in Las Vegas, in the recently constructed Jersey Boys Theater at the Palazzo Hotel. The London debut, held in the Prince Edward Theatre, happened in 2008, and this production won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical.

The show was also produced and performed in Australia, and their production has received a lot of praise from audiences there. Shows began in 2009 at the Princess Theatre of Melbourne, and then closed in 2010. That September, they began performances in Sydney, which closed in 2011. From there they went to Auckland, and that production lasted until June of 2012.

The story is that of the Four Seasons musical group and chronicles their formation, rise to stardom, and eventual break up. As such, the show is presented in chapters, called “seasons”, with each being represented by a different member of the group’s point of view. If you would like to see an award winning show, with great music and a compelling story, then go see this one. Tickets are on sale now, and you won’t be disappointed.
