Jersey Boys, the hit musical about the Four Seasons, opened at the August Wilson Theatre November 6, 2005. The production, directed by Des McAnuff with choreography by Sergio Trujillo, played 4,642 performances before closing January 15, 2017. The musical earned eight Tony Award nominations, winning four including Best Musical.
Jersey Boys chronicles the creation, rise, fall, and coming apart of a 1960s musical quartet, The Four Seasons—accompanied by their Golden Oldies hit parade—in which each member of the band recounts his own section (or season): spring (Tommy DeVito), summer (Bob Gaudio), fall (Nick Massi), and winter (Frankie Valli). The production features music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe, and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice.
