Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the true-life phenomenon, JERSEY BOYS. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true.
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, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Beggin’, Oh What a Night and more.
Recipient of Broadway’s Tony, London’s Olivier and Australia’s Helpmann Awards for Best New Musical, JERSEY BOYS has won 65 major awards and has been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide.
JERSEY BOYS originally opened in New York on 6 November 2005 and, by the time it closed on 15 January 2017, had become the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history. The production returned to New York with a new run from November 2017 to May 2022 and has also enjoyed multiple record-breaking US National Tours.
In London, JERSEY BOYS ran in the West End from 18 March 2008 to 26 March 2017 — an incredible nine-year run — and at the time became the 6th longest-running musical in the West End. The musical returned once again as the first production to play the reinstated Trafalgar Theatre from 14 April 2021 to 4 January 2024. Previous UK and Ireland tours also broke records between 2014–2016, 2017–2019 and 2021–2022.
