Jersey Boys Tickets
Jersey Boys the Musical
Jersey Boys – Prince Edward Theatre

‘Oh what a night of magical memories….This is an utterly wonderful show full of vitality, pace and power’ Daily Express.

‘Let’s hear it for the Boys…..I suspect, be some time before London says Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye) to the phenomenal Jersey Boys’ Dailt Telegraph.

 

Jersey Boys follows the rags-to-riches tale of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons as they work their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom, and features such hits as ‘Sherry,’ ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,’ ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,’ ‘Oh, What a Night’ and many more.

This is one of the more overlooked greats of the West End. On the face of it the impression most people get is that it is aimed at an older audience and for those that can remember the group, however their songs have been covered through all the generations so audiences of all ages will be able to relate to the music. Even the Black Eyed Peas have done a cover!
