"This is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time," according to the producers. "They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide — all before they were 30."
Jersey Boys will feature their hit songs "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Oh What a Night" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" and more. The creative team includes choreographer Sergio Trujillo and Klara Zieglerova (scenic design), Jess Goldstein (costume design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Clark (projections design), Charles LaPointe (wig and hair design), Steve Orich (orchestrations), Ron Melrose (music direction, vocal arrangements and incidental music), John Miller (music coordinator), Steve Rankin (fight director), Steven Gabis (dialect coach), Tara Rubin Casting (casting), Peter Fulbright (technical production).
