More than a tribute or a concert featuring a repertoire of The Four Seasons' music, the Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS chronicles the life and the trying times of Franki Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi -- the four blue-collar workers hailing from the Garden State who became the iconic pop quartet: The Four Seasons.This multi-Tony Award winning musical sheds light on the ups and downs of the 60's pop group particularly the life of its front man, Franki Valli, to the tunes of their greatest hits such as "Walk Like a Man", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Sherry" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and some original tunes and scores as well, composed by Bob Gaudio and The Four Seasons' producer and co-composer, Bob Crewe.
"A winner!" as The New Yorker theater critic John Lahr puts it, JERSEY BOYS shows what stars and icons have to go through to withstand four decades of conflicts and arguments between themselves, controversies, life threatening situations and family troubles and yet, be able to leave a remarkable musical legacy that will be cherished by their fans and remembered by succeeding generations.
JERSEY BOYS will be at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from January 11 thru 29, 2012.
