Jersey Boys 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.
Jersey Boys opened on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005 and continues to break box office records at the
