Jersey Boys – The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, which opened at Sydney’s Theatre Royal in September 2010, after 14 months in Melbourne, has its closing night on 18 December 2011. From 15 November until closing night, Declan Egan will take over the role of Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio in his professional theatre debut.

The multi award winning Jersey Boys is the story of how four blue collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop sensations of all time.  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. 

Jersey Boys features all their hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Oh What A Night, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Working My Way Back To You and many more.

Jersey Boys will have its New Zealand premiere at Auckland's Civic Theatre in April 2012.
