The Original Four Seasons
It's time to "Walk Like A Man" off the stage.

      Jersey Boys is ending an 11 year run on Broadway on  musical began performances on October 4, 2005 and officially opened on November 6 at the August Wilson Theatre. It is one of only five currently running shows to play over 10 years on Broadway. It is also the 12th longest running show in Broadway history, passing such original Broadway productions as Miss Saigon, 42nd Street, Grease, Fiddler on the Roof, and The Producers.
Jersey Boys is the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard... and the radio just couldn't get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story -- a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Oh What A Night," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Working My Way Back To You." Jersey Boys was also turned into a movie with much of the original cast in 2014. This show captures a time in history that was idyllic and with music to match it. "It's my favorite show ever." Caroline Blair, a Beechwood student stated. "It's so sad to see it go, but at least I got to see it in New York. It's full of talented people and great music."
