JERSEY BOYS Comes to Music Theatre of Connecticut Next Week

Music Theatre of Connecticut MainStage, Fairfield County's professional award-winning theatre company opens their 37th MainStage Season with the Tony Award winning musical, Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Jersey Boys ran on Broadway from 2005 to 2014 and is now coming to Norwalk with hit songs you know and love, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Dawn,” and “My Eyes Adored You.” Jersey Boys will run three weekends from September 15th – October 1st, 2023 with performances on Thursdays at 7pm, Fridays & Saturday at 8pm, and Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm.

Jersey Boys chronicles the Four Seasons' life story—their meteoric rise, the trials that tested their bonds, and the ultimate triumph that turned their melodies into anthems for a generation. This multi-award winning musical gets to the heart of the groups relationships—with a special focus on front man Frankie Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto. The Four Seasons face a multitude of challenges including gambling debts, Mafia threats, family disasters and growing up. Jersey Boys is a glimpse at the people behind a sound that has managed to endure for over four decades in the hearts of the public. This electrifying show includes chart-topping hits which brought The Four Seasons the highest honor: induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
