Oh, what a night you'll have with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. *Jersey Boys* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

Spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the West End can’t get enough of this Four Seasons musical. *Jersey Boys* previously played in the West End for nine years and won an Olivier Award for Best New Musical. Now, it’s the first show to play at the Trafalgar Theatre, a stylish West End hotspot. 

Hear all your favourite soulful songs in this Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons jukebox musical. As well as "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)," you’ll want to sing along to "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You," "Sherry," "Walk Like A Man," "Bye Bye Baby," "Big Girls Don’t Cry," and many more. Original Jersey Boy Bob Gaudio worked on the musical, collaborating with book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and lyricist Bob Crewe.

### What is the *Jersey Boys* musical about?

How did Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons take over the world? At the start, they were just four ordinary guys from New Jersey until they sang their very first note. People started talking. They had a sound nobody had ever heard … and the radio just couldn’t get enough of it. 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.

Oh what a night! The award-winning jukebox musical that started the trend is back on the West End. 
The story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons comes to life through their hit songs and Tony and Olivier Award-winning script. 
Grab your tickets to *Jersey Boys* at Trafalgar Studios today.

Marshall Brickman and Rick Elise, book writers for *Jersey Boys*, interviewed the band members as research – and cleverly decided to make a virtue of their differing accounts by building it into the structure of their show. There’s no one definitive version of the truth, either in life or in the musical.

The Broadway production opened in 2005 and ran for an astonishing 4,642 performances, finally closing in 2017. The West End run was a massive hit too, playing from 2008-2017. *Jersey Boys* won both the Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Musical, and its cast recording won a Grammy Award.

Members of that award-winning team return for this new West End revival, including director Des McAnuff, and choreographer Sergio Trujillo. That means you’re getting the *Jersey Boys* you know and love, once more brought to the stage by the people who created it. 

## What to Watch For:

- The subtitle for *Jersey Boys* could well be Bad Boys. In stark contrast to their sweet crooning and squeaky-clean public image, the writers were shocked to find all the drama behind the scenes – including gambling debts and jail sentences. But hey: it makes for great theatre.
- The show’s structure is split into four sections, with each told by a different member of the band, and each given a different time period: spring, summer, autumn, winter. That gives rise to a very pleasing pun – the four seasons, told by The Four Seasons.
- Many talented musical theatre performers have passed through the ranks of the Jersey Boys over the years. That includes Sebastian Arcelus and Andy Karl.
- Clint Eastwood adapted *Jersey Boys* into a movie in 2014, executive produced by Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio. John Lloyd Young reprised his Tony-winning turn as Frankie, and the film also featured Hollywood stars like Christopher Walken.

The gorgeously revamped <a href="/theatres/trafalgar-theatre">Trafalgar Theatre</a> (formerly Trafalgar Studios) christens its new auditorium with an old favourite: 2005 biographical jukebox musical <a href="/show/jersey-boys">Jersey Boys</a>, which last ran in the West End from 2008-2017. Well, the boys are back in town - a strong lure for those audiences still working their way back to theatre.Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice's show makes a virtue out of the Four Seasons members' conflicting recollections of their rise to fame and subsequent acrimonious split. The tale is told from multiple points of view, although the live-wire founder Tommy DeVito arguably dominates proceedings - until (a plot necessity but an unfortunate one) he disappears in the second half of the show.Tommy clues us in to life growing up in 1950s New Jersey. Neighbourhood guys like him are in and out of prison all the time, with few other prospects. But when he joins forces with Frankie Valli, possessed of an angelic falsetto, talented bass player Nick Massi, and the boy wonder composer Bob Gaudio, the combination is magic. The first time that the quartet's voices blend perfectly together under a street light is spine-tingling.But, happily for the drama, success doesn't come easy. Part of it is an identity crisis, with the band constantly changing names, and radio DJs unsure if they're a Black group or one led by a female singer. There's also tension immediately between band members: Tommy hustles for them, but is also an unreliable gambling addict who gets in deep with the mob, and he feels threatened by the business-savvy Bob's increasing influence over Frankie, who Tommy considers his "little brother".The shifting power dynamics and the tussle over what it means to be a man - whether a provider, a boss, or a loyal friend - form the backbone of the story. But, though the book does challenge Tommy's blinkered world view, there's a misty nostalgia for this kind of tough-guy masculinity, when you lived by a code, made deals with a handshake, and settled disputes with your fists. It echoes the Four Seasons' view of themselves as the hard-scrabble working man's band - in contrast to those arty Beatles.More interesting than that questionable hagiography are quirky details like Nick and Frankie having to break into a church to rehearse their harmonies, Frankie making a mobster weep over his late mother, or the fact that a teenage Joe Pesci (later an Oscar-winning actor) was the one who brought Bob into the group.What about the women, you may ask? Well, the show certainly doesn't. They occasionally drift into dismal view, as mothers, wives, hookers, or daughters, always from the perspective of a man - though kudos to Melanie Bright for attempting to breathe life into Frankie's tenacious wife, Mary Delgado. There's also a tiresomely camp portrait of a supporting gay character.Still, what the audience is really here for is the music, and there's no disputing that the Four Seasons' back catalogue is a wondrous thing. The hits just keep coming: "Sherry,"&nbsp;"Big Girls Don't Cry,"&nbsp;"December 1963 (Oh What a Night),"&nbsp;"Beggin',"&nbsp;"Lets Hang On,"&nbsp;"Bye Bye Baby" - and, once Frankie goes solo, the show-stopping "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."&nbsp;Benjamin Yates brings swagger to brash wise guy Tommy, who always has a chip on his shoulder, while Karl James Wilson is an amusingly fastidious Nick and Adam Bailey a quiet but resolutely ambitious Bob - all providing smooth vocals and synchronised moves, too (slick choreography by Sergio Trujillo). And it's a star-making West End debut for Ben Joyce, who not only evokes Valli's exceptional voice, but supplies fervent passion and a heartbreaking gradual disillusionment.This pared-back, Off-Broadway version of Des McAnuff's staging works beautifully in the smaller venue. It whizzes efficiently between the short scenes and multiple locations, thanks to an industrious ensemble, minimal props, and good use of a multi-level scaffold. A video screen on the back wall showing Roy Lichtenstein's pop art is a witty way to frame the action and tie it into the era.Jersey Boys isn't the most revolutionary programming, and I really do hope we see more original musicals emerging post-pandemic rather than just jukebox revivals, but you can't fault the sheer entertainment value of this show. Oh what a night indeed.<a href="/show/jersey-boys">Jersey Boys is at Trafalgar Theatre. Book Jersey Boys tickets on LondonTheatre.co.uk.</a>Photo credit: Jersey Boys (Photo by Piers Allardyce)
