The story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Jersey Boys centers on a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were 30. The show is currently playing in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, London and in cities across the U.S. on a national tour, and will open in Melbourne, Australia in March 2009.
