Jersey Boys
Background
Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in Jersey Boys. So, they begin as just four guys from New Jersey, until they sing their very first note. Because they have a sound which is all-new, and one that the radio just can’t get enough of. But while their harmonies are perfect on-stage, off-stage it’s a very different story. However, it’s a story that would make them an international sensation all over again.
From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true. Why? Well, the show has all of their hits, including Beggin’, Walk Like A Man and December, 1963 (Oh What a Night). Also, there’s Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, My Eyes Adored You and Let’s Hang On (To What We’ve Got). Not forgetting Bye Bye Baby, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Working My Way Back to You and Fallen Angel. Oh, and there’s Rag Doll and Who Loves You to round off the exceptional soundtrack for this exceptional production.
Creatives
The entire team responsible for the original Broadway production are behind the upcoming UK tour. So, this includes two Tony Award-winners in Des McAnuff as director and Sergio Trujillo as choreographer. Next, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice are writing the show, Bob Gaudio handles music anmd Bob Crewe covers lyrics. Also, there’s Jess Goldstein on costume design, Howell Binkley on lighting and Klara Zieglerova on scenic design. Not forgetting Steve Canyon Kennedy on sound and Michael Clark on projections design. Furthermore, Steve Orich provides the orchestrations, with Ron Melrose providing music supervision and vocal arrangements.
Cast
A big-name cast is awaiting further announcements. But when the full list of performers is available, we will let you know!
Venue
Liverpool’s Empire Theatre is a true mainstay of the city, ever since the venue’s initial opening in 1866. But a demolition of the original Empire would lead to the modern Empire opening in 1924. From there, the Empire would become a focal point for the UK’s top touring theatre shows. Indeed, so many iconic productions regularly come to Liverpool’s Empire Theatre. Furthermore, the list of performers to grace the Empire stage over the years reads like a who’s who. In addition, the Empire’s location is pivotal, with its positioning directly in front of Lime Street Station. The Empire has a total capacity of 2,381, with frequent sell-outs throughout the annual theatre calendar. Simply put, the Empire Theatre is amongst the UK’s top entertainment venues and an ideal backdrop for a classic night of theatre.
