Jersey Boys Announces Final West End Performance
Posted on 16 October 2023
After hitting the high note 1000 times at the Trafalgar Theatre, the original Grammy, Tony, and Olivier award-winning sensation, Jersey Boys, will take its final bow at the Trafalgar Theatre on January 4, 2024, marking a triumphant three-year run in the West End. This musical takes you backstage and into the remarkable life of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and has won more awards than Frankie has hit those sweet-sounding falsettos!
About Jersey Boys
They were just four guys from New Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story—a story that has made 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. The show is packed with the hits of The Four Seasons, including Beggin’, 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.

I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
