Jersey Boys
Recently Updated
"Jersey Boys" is a jukebox musical that tells the story of the formation, rise, and eventual breakup of the Four Seasons, a 1960s rock and pop band from New Jersey. The show is divided into four parts, each narrated by a different member of the band: Tommy DeVito, Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, and Nick Massi. It features hit songs from the Four Seasons' catalogue, such as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."
The musical starts with a young Tommy DeVito, a streetwise kid with a talent for music, forming a band with his brother Nick and friend Nick Massi. They audition Frankie Valli to be their lead singer, and after some initial reluctance, he joins the group. The Four Seasons begin to make a name for themselves on the local music scene and are eventually discovered by record producer Bob Crewe. With Crewe's help, the band achieves national success and tours the country, encountering various challenges along the way.
As the band's fame grows, tensions rise between the members, particularly between Tommy and Frankie, and their personal lives begin to affect their professional relationships. Eventually, Tommy's mounting debts and criminal activities catch up with him, leading to his departure from the band. The remaining members struggle to keep the Four Seasons together, but Nick's departure and Bob's desire to pursue a career as a songwriter lead to the band's breakup. The musical ends with a reunion concert, where the Four Seasons perform together for the first time in years.
