Jersey Boys at Byers Theatre at Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center

Oh, What a Night! City Springs Theatre Company presents the regional premiere of the megahit musical Jersey Boys!

 The production is the company’s most-ambitious show to date, and stars four local Atlanta residents as the titular characters!

ATLANTA -- The megahit musical Jersey Boys makes its regional premiere in City Springs Theatre Company’s (CSTC) first-ever, five-week run at the Byers Theatre in Sandy Springs. Directed by Atlanta’s-own Shane DeLancey, and choreographed by Meg Gillentine, Jersey Boys tells the rags-to-riches story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, on their remarkable journey from the streets to the top of the charts, to their 1990 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Presented by Resurgens Spine Center, Jersey Boys runs from July 12 through August 11, and shines a special spotlight on home-grown talent, as the show’s four leading men are all Atlanta-area residents.

With phenomenal music, memorable characters, and great storytelling, Jersey Boys follows the fascinating evolution of four blue-collar kids who became one of the greatest successes in pop-music history. Jersey Boys took Best Musical honors at both the Tony Awards® and Olivier Awards®, and features such chart-topping hits as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” “Let’s Hang On,” “Walk Like A Man,” and “Who Loves You.” It has been performed globally in Canada, the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Australia, and China.

“City Springs Theatre Company is very proud to be the first in the southeast region to present Jersey Boys,” said CSTC Artistic Director and Tony Award®-winner Shuler Hensley. “Our audiences have been asking for this particular show since we opened. The production is truly stacked with talent onstage and off, and we’re pulling out all the stops to bring audiences an experience that will rival any previous version of the show.”    

Jersey Boys premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2005, prior to its 13-year Broadway run, from 2005 to 2017. There have been productions of the show in Las Vegas, UK/Ireland, Toronto, Melbourne, Singapore, South Africa, the Netherlands, Japan, Dubai, and China.

Jersey Boys features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
