Toronto's 'Jersey Boys' Extends Again

Dancap Productions announced today that the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning hit musical Jersey Boys will extend and continue to play at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, with tickets on sale until May 23, 2010.  This is another in a series of many extensions for the hit show, which Toronto seems to be embracing with open arms. 

 

"Toronto has truly embraced JERSEY BOYS," remarked Aubrey Dan, President of Dancap Productions. "It is incredibly heartwarming that JERSEY BOYS, now in its second year, is playing to some of the most enthusiastic audiences of their Toronto run. Performances were packed through the holidays and sales have been extremely strong, telling us that Torontonians do not want to say good-bye to JERSEY BOYS any time soon!"

In addition to news of the extension, it was also announced today that Jersey Boys will be helping with the 13th Annual Raising the Roof Toque Compaign.  Using the promotion code ROOF, tickets can be purchased throughout January for only $25 and $60, and with each ticket purchase the show will make a donation to Raising the Roof, which is currently Canada's only national charity devoted solely to finding long-term solutions to homelessness.  For every two tickets purchased, patrons can also receive a free Raising the Roof Toque.* 

JERSEY BOYS is the story behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It tells the story of how four 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 sound and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were 30.

JERSEY BOYS stars Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi, Jeff Madden as Frankie Valli, Daniel Robert Sullivan as Tommy DeVito, and Quinn VanAntwerp as Bob Gaudio. The company also comprises: Gabriel Antonacci, Matthew Brown, Matt Cassidy, Jennifer Copping, Jade Elliott, Élodie Gillett, Bryan Hindle, Victoria Lamond, Aaron MacKenzie, Adrian Marchuk, W. Joseph Matheson, Timothy Sell, Alison Smyth, Grant Tilly and Shawn Wright.

Directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Des McAnuff, JERSEY BOYS is written by Academy Award winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.

The Toronto production of JERSEY BOYS is the winner of two 2009 Dora Mavor Moore Awards; Outstanding Direction of a Musical for Des McAnuff and Outstanding Performance by a Male in a Musical for Jeff Madden, as well as the Audience Choice Award.

The Canadian production of JERSEY BOYS is produced by Dancap Productions Inc., Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group in association with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
