"Jersey Boys" Heads To Boston
For Summer Dates At The Shubert

Having electrified Broadway for the past three years, "Jersey Boys" will head to Boston to play a six week engagement this summer at the Citi Performing Arts Center Shubert Theatre. Performance dates are July 23 - September 26. Tickets are on sale now.

Winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award and the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, "Jersey Boys" is based on the true story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons -- Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi -- a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who went on to become one of the biggest pop music sensations of all time.  They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide -- all before they were thirty.

The high-energy production boasts such top hits as "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "Walk Like A Man," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Sherry," "Rag Doll," "My Eyes Adored You," "Working My Way Back To You," and "Let's Hang On." 
 
Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, "Jersey Boys" is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
 
Following its premiere at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse in 2004, "Jersey Boys" opened on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005.  A National Tour kicked off in San Francisco on December 1, 2006, played a record-breaking run in Los Angeles and is still breaking house records in cities across North America. There are currently five productions of "Jersey Boys" playing in New York, London, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Toronto in addition to the United States National tour. A seventh production is set to open in Melbourne, Australia, in July, 2009.
