One of Broadway’s long standing hit musicals, Jersey Boys chronicles the life of Four Seasons, the band that smashed records in the 1960s. The musical explores not only the songs that made them who they are, but also the people behind those songs, delving deep into the psychology of the band mates, especially Frankie Valli. The musical brings together the story of a band not covered much by the media during that time, and brings music lovers closer to the people who immortalized songs like ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ and ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’.
The Story of Jersey Boys
Jersey Boys is a musical biography of the Four Seasons — a group of four rookies from Jersey, who captured the hearts of an entire nation. Jersey Boys is not a musical tribute - it focuses on the rise, the difficulties, the trials and tribulations of the members of the band, and how their lives changed when they gained popularity. The show places the spotlight on Frankie Valli, the lead singer of Four Seasons, who was popular for his falsetto. The story shines light on the camaraderie between four boys and how that brotherhood helped them overcome every challenge in their way.
Performance
Jersey Boys ran on Broadway from 2005 to 2017, and also enjoyed two North American tours. The play also enjoyed a West End run, and was performed in Toronto, Australia and in South Africa.
Awards
Jersey Boys was nominated in 8 categories at the Tony Awards and won Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical, and Best Lighting. It won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical and Outstanding Sound Design. Jersey Boys songs won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show album.
The London West End production won an Olivier Award for Best New Musical.
Jersey Boys Reviews (previous productions)
“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 New York
“Unlike other jukebox musicals, which use a group's hit songs to tell some other story, "Jersey Boys" simply narrates the career of Valli, his friends and the man who wrote their successes, Bob Gaudio... Sometimes such a technique can be deadly, but the book, by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, handles everything with such lightness and finesse that you get caught up in their story.”
