The Tony, Olivier and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Jersey Boys, which has been delighting audiences in London for six years, will be touring the United Kingdom for the first time from September 2014, whilst the production also continues in London at its new home of the Piccadilly Theatre from March 2014.

JERSEY BOYS has now been seen by over 19 million people worldwide and is firmly established as one of the West End's longest running and most popular shows. Now theatres in cities all over the UK will be host to the remarkable true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and their rise to stardom from the wrong side of the tracks. These four boys from New Jersey became one of the most successful bands in pop history, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sold 175 million records worldwide, all before they turned 30.

JERSEY BOYS is the winner of 55 major awards worldwide, including the Olivier Award for Best New Musical. The show originally opened on Broadway in 2006, receiving the Tony Award for Best Musical. As well as still running on Broadway and in the West End, Jersey Boys can be seen in Las Vegas, across the United Stateson its US National Tour, on tour in the Netherlands and in Seoul.
