Now in its 2nd year on stage at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, JERSEY BOYS is the story behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It tells the story of how four blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were 30.
JERSEY BOYS stars Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi, Jeff Madden as Frankie Valli, Daniel Robert Sullivan as Tommy DeVito, and Quinn VanAntwerp as Bob Gaudio. The company also comprises: Gabriel Antonacci, Matthew Brown, Matt Cassidy, Jennifer Copping, Jade Elliott, Élodie Gillett, Bryan Hindle, Victoria Lamond, Aaron MacKenzie, Adrian Marchuk, W. Joseph Matheson, Timothy Sell, Alison Smyth, Grant Tilly
and Shawn Wright.
True musical icons, The Four Seasons is one of very few American acts whose success was not derailed by the British invasion of the Beatles in 1964. With their 19 top ten hits, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and covers of their songs still hitting the pop charts, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons is one of the most successful singing groups in rock and roll history. Their legacy continues with the cast recording of JERSEY BOYS, produced by Bob Gaudio, certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Des McAnuff, JERSEY BOYS is written by AcademyAward winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
