The Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning hit musical JERSEY BOYS, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, 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.
JERSEY BOYS opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005. It is currently playing in New York; London; Las Vegas; Brisbane, Australia; and across the U.S. on its 2nd National Tour.
In the Dutch version of the show, the songs will remain in English while all dialogue will be translated into Dutch. JERSEY BOYS will play the Beatrix Theatre in Utrecht.
