Photo Flash: Jersey Boys Actors' Fund Performance

A recent performance of Jersey Boys was presented on Sunday, April 15th, as part of the Actors' Fund Special Performance series.

Jersey Boys, Broadway's hit musical that tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, also celebrated its 600th performance on Broadway, Saturday, April 14th.  Jersey Boys opened to critical acclaim at the August Wilson Theatre on November 6, 2005.  The show is written by Marshall Brickman and 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.

Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young), Bob Gaudio (Daniel Reichard), Tommy DeVito (Tony Award winner Christian Hoff) and Nick Massi (J. Robert Spencer), 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 musical is currently playing at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, and will play engagements at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and the LaSalle Bank Theatre in Chicago. In addition, Jersey Boys has recently announced engagements of two touring companies this season in Tempe, AZ; San Diego, CA; Costa Mesa, CA; Seattle, WA; Houston, TX; Tampa, FL; Minneapolis, MN and Cleveland, OH.
