About the Musical
The 2006 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical is a jukebox favorite featuring the unique ‘60s sound and songs of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons
Story:
Frankie, Tommy, Nick, and Bob are just four guys from New Jersey struggling to make a name for their band. Their first break comes when they land a studio job as background singers. The next comes soon after when their producer promises to sign them on as a group when they’ve decided on a band name and a sound. They quickly name themselves after a bowling alley, The Four Seasons, and Bob writes three songs that will place their names in the rock ‘n roll record books. As the band develops into a sensation, they struggle to cope with fame, artistic integrity, and their rapidly changing personal lives.
