Synopsis
JERSEY BOYS is the story behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. Follow the award-winning rags-to-rock-to-riches tale of four blue-collar kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide – all before the age of 30. (dancaptickets.com)
