Jersey Boys won four 2006 Tony Awards including Best Musical and continues to break box office records at the

Jersey Boys is the story of
Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons:
Frankie Valli,
Bob Gaudio,
Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story 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.
Casting for the
Chicago premiere of the musical will be announced at a later date.
The design and production team comprises Klara Zieglerova (Scenic Design), Jess Goldstein (Costume Design), Howell Binkley (winner of the 2006 Tony Award for his Lighting Design of
Jersey Bous), Steve Canyon Kennedy (Sound Design), Michael Clark (Projections Design), Charles LaPointe (Wig and Hair Design),
