THE JERSEY BOYS TOUR
Following the show's closure in London in March 2016, Jersey Boys will set out on a second tour at the end of 2017 (the show previously toured the UK in 2014-15), opening at the New Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham on December 16th, before visiting venues including Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Stoke-on-Trent, Hull, Sunderland and Glasgow. It is currently running until April 14, 2018, with further dates to be announced.
Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons who are one of the most successful bands in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, with their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were 30!
Four boys from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey form a group and invent their own unique sound to eventually find a place in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame selling 100 million records worldwide.
Michael Watson will be playing Frankie Valli, Simon Bailey will be Tommy De Vito, Declan Egan will be Bob Gaudio and Lewis Griffiths will be Nick Massi. Michael, Simon, Declan and Lewis have all previously performed their roles in JERSEY BOYS to great acclaim: Michael and Simon in the West End, Declan in the West End and Australia, and Lewis in the first UK and Ireland tour. Dayle Hodge will return to the production to play Frankie Valli at certain performances.
The cast also includes Joel Elferink as Bob Crewe, James Alexander Gibbs as Joey, Mark Heenehan as Gyp DeCarlo, Karl James-Wilson as Norm Waxman, Arnold Mabhena as Barry Belson, Phoebe May Newman as Francine, Olive Robinson as Lorraine, James Winter as Hank Majewski and Tara Young as Mary Delgado. Completing the cast will be Peter Nash, Dan O’Brien, Stephen O’Riain and Amy Thiroff.
This show features many of the band's worldwide hits including: “Beggin’”, “Can’t Take my Eyes Off You”, “Oh What a Night”, “Walk Lie a Man”, “Bye, Bye Baby – Baby Goodbye”, "Sherry" and “Big Girl’s Don’t Cry” – to name but a few!
Book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, Music and Lyrics by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, Directed by Des McAnuff & Choreography by Sergio Trujillo. It is produced by Dodger Theatricals and Ambassador Theatre Group, with Joseph J Grano, Pelican Group, Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
