JERSEY BOYS
The story of FrankieValli and The Four Seasons opened at the Princess Theatre on 4 July last year.
To date, over 450,000 people have seen JERSEY BOYS in Melbourne, and by the time it leaves the Princess Theatre, it will have played 453 performances.
JERSEY BOYS, the most successful musical to play the Princess Theatre since The Phantom of the Opera, has played to dancing room only audiences and has proven to be a strong attraction to the out of town fans that comprise 37% of its audience, providing a healthy boost to the economy of Melbourne and Victoria.
The show must close on Sunday 25 July (last performance starts at 6PM) – no extension possible.
JERSEY BOYS features 20 hit classics, such as Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man, Rag Doll and December 1963(Oh What a Night).
JERSEY BOYS will take its final Melbourne curtain call on Sunday 25 July and open in Sydney on 18 September.This fast-moving, riveting drama follows four young guys growing up in a tough New Jersey neighborhood in the 1960’s and tells how they defied the odds to becomeone of the most successful groups in pop music history.
Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi joined forces to become The Four Seasons, writing their own hits and developing their unique sound to sell over 175 million records before they were 30! Bobby Fox (Frankie Valli), Scott Johnson, (Tommy DeVito), Stephen Mahy (Bob Gaudio) and Glaston Toft (Nick Massi) delivergripping, crowd pleasing performances that bring audiences to their feet night afternight.
JERSEY BOYS is produced by Dodger Theatricals, Rodney Rigby and Dainty Consolidated Entertainment.
‘All of us in the JERSEY BOYS family would like to thank the City and People of Melbourne for embracing our show so enthusiastically. The welcome mat was rolled out for us in a very grand style and we are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have experienced your warm Aussie hospitality! The nightly standing ovations and the cheers from fans seeing the show for the first, second or even third time will linger in our memory long after the final curtain on 25 July.- Michael David, Dodger Theatricals
‘We are delighted with the success of JERSEY BOYS in Melbourne which has clearly demonstrated the unique relationship between theatre and tourism in Melbourne. Our collaboration and partnerships with Victorian Major Events Company, Tourism Victoria and the tourism industry have been invaluable contributors to the embracing of our show by Melbournians and tourists alike. It is a great achievement that 37% of our attendances are directly related to interstate, regional and international audiences, making a significant contribution to the Victorian economy.’ - Rodney Rigby, Newtheatricals
‘JERSEY BOYS has been one of those shows that gets phenomenal word of mouth from the public and plaudits from the critics. The show has received ten nominations for nine awards in the Green Room Awards to be announced next Monday [15 March)] and the reviews were – unanimously – raves. I’m sure Sydney will take it to its heart just as Melbourne has.’- Paul Dainty, Dainty Consolidated Entertainment
‘JERSEY BOYS has been an outstanding tourism success in Melbourne, it has drawn large numbers of tourists from around the country and helped stimulate our hospitality and retail sectors while reinforcing Melbourne's position as Australia's theatre capital. I thank Jersey Boys and wish the cast and crew every bit of success for their future performances.’- Robert Doyle, Lord Mayor Of Melbourne
“JERSEY BOYS captured the hearts of Victorians and interstate visitors and we were delighted to welcome the show to Melbourne. Shows like this are critical to the city’s tourism industry and provide a boost to our economy.Melbourne has stolen the march on Sydney - more and more musical theatre producers are choosing Melbourne to premiere their Australian tours. Our city is increasingly becoming the next stop after Broadway and the West End.” - Tim Holding MP, Minister for Tourism and Major Events
