Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons:
Frankie Valli,
Bob Gaudio,
Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It's a journey of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks 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 Original Broadway Cast Recording of JERSEY BOYS was produced by
Bob Gaudio, and was recently certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The cast recording is now available on Rhino Records. JERSEY BOYS: The Story of
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (Broadway Books) is the official handbook to the smash Broadway hit.
