Bye Bye Baby! Jersey Boys to Close in West End

After the sad news that Jersey Boys would be closing on Broadway, comes the announcement that the Olivier-winning London production will shutter at the Piccadilly Theatre on March 26, 2017. The tuner is currently the sixth longest-running musical in the West End.

Jersey Boys first opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on March 18, 2008 and moved to the Piccadilly Theatre in March 2014. A second national UK tour will kick off in December 2017.

The London cast of Jersey Boys is led by Matt Corner as Frankie Valli, Simon Bailey as Tommy DeVito, Declan Egan as Bob Gaudio and Matt Hunt as Nick Massi. Dayle Hodge plays the role of Frankie Valli at certain performances. Also in the company are Nicola Brazil, Stuart Dawes, Willemijn de Vries, Mark Dugdale, Leanne Garretty, Lucinda Gill, Nicky Griffiths, Will Haswell, Mark Heenehan, Mark Isherwood, Ben Jennings, Joe Maxwell, Nathaniel Morrison, Dan O’Brien, Chris Stoddart, Helen Ternent and Ben Wheeler.

Jersey Boys is the remarkable true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and their rise to stardom from the wrong side of the tracks. These four boys from New Jersey became one of the most successful bands in pop history, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sold 175 million records worldwide, all before they turned 30. The show is packed with their hits, including "Sherry," "Walk Like A Man," "Bye Bye Baby," and "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You."
