Written by David Cote, the 176-page hardcover is titled "Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons."

"Like the show itself, this gorgeous, full-color companion book captures the magic and the original excitement of the band's life and times through all-new interviews with the band members," reads a book description.

Charting the journeys of both the pop group and the Broadway musical, the new publication also features "the show's unabridged libretto; interviews with the show's cast, writers, and director; and over 200 photos from the band members' personal collections and rarely seen memorabilia."

Cote serves as theatre editor and chief drama critic for Time Out New York. He previously created the Wicked companion book, "Wicked: The Grimmerie."

The show began previews on Broadway Oct. 4, 2005, and officially opened at the August Wilson Theatre Nov. 6. The original Broadway cast recording is available on Rhino Records. Check jerseyboysinfo.com for more information on all current productions.
