- and how this group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American and International
pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide
- all before they were thirty. Their songs include 'Sherry', 'Walk Like A Man', 'December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)',
'Big Girls Don't Cry', 'My Eyes Adored You', 'Let's Hang On (To What We've Got)', 'Bye Bye Baby', 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'
, 'Working My Way Back to You', 'Fallen Angel', 'Rag Doll' and 'Who Loves You'.
Jersey Boys is written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
The London production will be staged by the entire original Broadway creative team, led by director Des McAnuff
and choreographer Sergio Trujillo.
Jersey Boys opened in New York in November 2005 and became an immediate sell-out. Jersey Boys won four 2006
Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and continues to play to standing room only at the August Wilson Theatre.

the wings... yet love still finds a way.

their divorce papers, while younger couple John and Kat will marry and
embark upon their life together. Trouble is, is anyone really sure they

Catherine look back to the eve of their wedding, desperately trying to

This delightful, intimate and funny new musical is about how tiny moments
