The original Tony®-winning musical sensation JERSEY BOYS is back!

Jersey Boys: A Musical Phenomenon

JERSEY BOYS, written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, tells the true-life story of four blue-collar boys from New Jersey who rose to global fame. From their humble beginnings to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the musical captures the highs and lows of life in the spotlight – from perfect harmonies on stage to the drama off stage.

Fans can look forward to all their greatest hits, including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Beggin’, Oh What a Night, and many more.

Producer Michael David of The Dodgers said:

“We are thrilled for JERSEY BOYS to return to the road across the United Kingdom and Ireland. When the show first opened on Broadway 20 years ago, little did we know the story of these four blue-collar kids from the wrong side of the tracks would resonate across the UK. We are so grateful to work our way back to you and celebrate 20 years of, as Frankie says, chasing the music, trying to get home.”

Award-Winning Legacy

Recipient of Broadway’s Tony Award, London’s Olivier Award, and Australia’s Helpmann Award for Best New Musical, JERSEY BOYS has won 65 major awards and been seen by over 30 million people worldwide. Its original Broadway run opened on 6 November 2005 and closed on 15 January 2017, ranking as the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history. The musical also enjoyed multiple successful UK tours, West End runs, and a Broadway revival from 2017–2022.

The 20th Anniversary UK and Ireland tour will feature the original Broadway creative team, including director Des McAnuff, choreographer Sergio Trujillo, scenic designer Klara Zieglerova, costume designer Jess Goldstein, lighting designer Howell Binkley, and more, ensuring the tour stays true to the iconic original production.
