It is also the longest running tenant in any of the five theatres owned by the Jujamcyn Theaters organization. Jersey Boys has been seen by over 24 million people.

Jersey Boys had its world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2004 before opening on Broadway in the fall of the following year.

Jersey Boys is the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. 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," "Oh What A Night," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Working My Way Back To You."
