Jersey Boys is the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn't get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story - a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Oh What A Night", "Walk Like A Man", "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You", and "Working My Way Back To You".
