Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons – comprising Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi – and how this group of blue-collar guys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American and international pop music sensations of all time.

Written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, the London production keeps the Broadway creative team led by director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo.

The Broadway version, which officially opened at the August Wilson Theatre Nov. 6, 2005, garnered four Tony Award wins: for stars John Lloyd Young and Christian Hoff, lighting designer Howell Binkley and for the top prize, Best Musical. The Four Seasons wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide – all before they were 30. Their songs include "Sherry," "Walk Like a Man," "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "My Eyes Adored You," "Let's Hang On (To What We've Got)," "Bye Bye Baby," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "Working My Way Back to You," "Fallen Angel," "Rag Doll" and "Who Loves You."

In London Jersey Boys is produced by Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group and in association with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
