Jersey Boys tells the story of how four blue-collar kids from Newark, New Jersey worked their way up to become one of the greatest successes in pop music. The show won four Tony® Awards including Best Musical and is considered the gold standard for jukebox musicals. The writers’ intention was never to create a musical, but rather to craft a play with music where the tunes of the Four Seasons highlighted and underscored their lives. A major part of the show’s success is the combination of the iconic music that is a beloved part of the collective culture contrasted with the unknown drama that permeated their story. The group tried to keep a clean-cut image like their contemporaries the Beach Boys by hiding seedier details happening behind the scenes, including their connections to the mafia which they were never able to fully extricate themselves from. The Shakespearean nature of the obstacles they faced is in stark opposition to the shiny image they presented onstage. This juxtaposition plays out in the show as the characters bounce back and forth between real life and concert performance.

The musical is divided into four parts—four seasons—each highlighting a unique phase of their career and narrated by a different member of the group. This creates a Rashomon Effect where each narrator has a different point of view not only on the events themselves, but also on the way they should be told. We start in spring—narrated by Tommy Devito as we see the beginnings of the group forming. Summer is brought to us through the lens of Bob Gaudio as the group finds their sound and identity. We see them at the top of their success. Nick Massi takes over as fall arrives and we begin to see success take its toll. Fractures in the group turn into insurmountable chasms. Finally, Frankie Valli narrates winter—a season of sorrow and reflection, and yet hope for a new season to come. In a time when opinion is often presented as fact, the perspective that the stories we tell ourselves shape the choices we make in the future feels incredibly relevant.

This music served as a backdrop to my childhood, including an entire year in grade school when I came home every day and did homework to my The Very Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons record. It was crucial to have a live band that is present onstage, as the music is the central motor of the piece. Part of the Four Seasons’ unique “sound” came from the innovative doubling of Frankie’s voice on the recordings. As a creative team, it was an exciting challenge to explore ways to recreate that iconic sound in live performance. So get ready to sing along as we take you on the journey of Jersey Boys.

Marshall BRickman (Book) Films (author or co-author): Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Manhattan Murder Mystery, For the Boys, Intersection; (as writer/director): Simon, Lovesick, The Manhattan Project, Sister Mary Explains it All. Television: "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson" (head writer), "The Dick Cavett Show" (head writer/co-producer). He has published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy and other periodicals and was the 2006 recipient of the Writers Guild of America's Ian McClellan Hunter Lifetime Achievement Award. Jersey Boys, his first venture into musical theatre, won four Tonys including Best Musical. The Addams Family, his second Broadway venture (with co-author Rick Elice), is currently playing on national and international tours. He lives in New York City and hopes to die in his sleep, surrounded by his loved ones and their attorneys.

Rick Elise (Book) co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best Musical) with Marshall Brickman. His play, Peter and the Starcatcher, received nine 2012 Tony Award nominations (including two for Rick) and won five, more than any play of the season. It's currently playing in New York and on tour across North America. Also on Broadway, Elice wrote The Addams Family (with Marshall Brickman, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa), currently touring North America, with productions in Europe and South America. In 2014, the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego will present the world premiere of his new musical, Dog and Pony (music and lyrics by Michael Patrick Walker). Rick is currently writing a musical for Disney Theatricals with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, based on the film Make Believe, and Super Fly (co-written with Seth Zvi Rosenfeld), directed and choreographed by modern dance legend, Bill T. Jones. Heartfelt thanks to those whose work in the theatre makes him grateful for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner, Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, Coyne, Brickman, Timbers and Rees. Rick thinks about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does now.

Bob Gaudio (Composer) wrote his first hit, "Who Wears Short Shorts," at 15, for the Royal Teens, and then went on to become a founding member of the Four Seasons and the band's principal songwriter. He also produced the hit "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" for Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy nomination, Record of the Year) as well as six albums for Diamond, including The Jazz Singer. Other producing credits include albums for Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and the soundtrack for the film Little Shop of Horrors. Several songs co-written with Bob Crewe have been cover hits for such artists as the Tremeloes ("Silence is Golden"), the Walker Brothers ("The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore") and Lauryn Hill ("Can't Take My Eyes Off You"). With his wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who Loves You album for the Four Seasons and one of Billboard's longest-charted singles (54 weeks), "Oh, What a Night." A high point in his career came in 1990 when, as a member of the original Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which hailed him as "a quintessential music-maker." To this day, Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership...on a handshake.

Bob Crewe (Lyricist) New York was pregnant in the fifties," says Bob Crewe, "gestating with possibilities." Crewe and music partner Frank Slay became independent writer-producers when the category hadn't yet been invented. In 1957 they wrote and produced "Silhouettes" for The Rays, which skyrocketed to #1. Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" and Billy & Lillie's "Lah Dee Da." Crewe's 1960's unprecedented producing success with The Four Seasons birthed a new sound, striking a major chord in American pop. "Sherry, "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," "Candy Girl," "Ronnie" - all smashes! When lead Frankie Valli demanded a solo turn, Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote (and Crewe produced) 'Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," which eventually became the century's fifth most-played song. Crewe ran hot with artists from Vicki Carr, Oliver and Lesly Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with Charles Fox the soundtrack for Jane Fonda's film, "Barbarella." Then his own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with Music to Watch Girls By. In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived Frankie Valli with "My Eyes Adored You" by Crewe and Kenny Nolan. They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" (#1, July '75), which was a hit again on the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge (#1, June '01)...David Ritz
