The stars of Jersey Boys will perform on "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve" show this Sunday, December 31 from 10:12pm to 10:18pm (Eastern) on ABC.

"For the primetime special, country superstars Rascal Flatts will lead the world-class roster of performances that also includes the stars of Broadway's Jersey Boys, as the show expands from one to a record three performances, live from the show's exclusive performance stage on Military Island before almost a million people, and tens of million more viewers at home. Other musical acts for the 35th consecutive year of the special will include Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Meat Loaf and Latin music phenomenon RBD, all from the Hollywood party. Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest will host three specials from New York on this evening, making three and a half hours of special New Year's programming," state ABC notes.

Winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award, Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe, and is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo.

The show stars Tony Award-winners John Lloyd Young and Christian Hoff, as well as Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer.

The musical "is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, about a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty."

The show opened to critical acclaim at the August Wilson Theatre on November 6, 2005.  The national tour of Jersey Boys opened to critical acclaim December 10 at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco where it has just been extended to March 25.

The cast recording available now on Rhino Records.
