Jersey Boys at CLOC - It’s just too good to be true!
Four men … four stories… four seasons … forty years … fifteen top ten songs … five chart toppers… 42 songs in the top 100 … 175 million records sold … and a dramatic tale that would be unbelievable if it were not true.
CLOC Musical Theatre's May 2022 production, Jersey Boys, is the true-life story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey became Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - one of the most successful bands in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, sold 175 million records worldwide, and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for their countless worldwide hits, including “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Sherry”, “Walk Like A Man”, “Oh What A Night”,”Bye Bye Baby”, “Rag Doll”, “Working My Way Back to You”, “My Eyes Adored You”, “Who Loves You” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”.
Appearing as the Four Seasons, pictured above, are L-R: Jonathon Shilling (Bob Gaudio), Robbie Wilton (Tommy DeVito), Will Hanley (Frankie Valli) and Tom Morley (Nick Massi). All four performers are no strangers to a CLOC stage, having performed in thirteen CLOC productions between them. For Tom Morley (a doctor by day working in COVID Land), this is his second consecutive CLOC show after last year's sPriscilla, Queen of the Desert. On the other hand, it is eleven years since Will Hanley last stepped on to a CLOC stage, although he has been a prolific and award winning performer with various companies around Melbourne. Jonathon Shilling and Robbie Wilton have reunited after last appearing together in CLOC's Kinky Boots in 2019, and for Robbie, this show marks his eighth CLOC on-stage appearance.
