Jersey Boys, the Grammy, Tony, and Olivier-winning musical, will end its spectacular run on 4 January 2024 at the Trafalgar Theatre. The show has completed over 1,000 performances over three years at West End.

Jersey Boys history 

On 6 November 2005, Jersey Boys debuted on Broadway and played for over 11 years. It is the Broadway production with the twelfth-longest run. It was the sixth-longest-running musical in the West End at the time and played in London's West End from 2008 to 2017—nine incredible years. It's just finished its third tour, a record-breaking one that took place throughout the UK and Ireland and lasted until May 2023. It had done two tours between 2014 - 2016 and 2017 - 2019.

Where it all began

Follow the story of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi on their journey to fame as the iconic 1960s rock 'n' roll group, The Four Seasons. The musical takes the audiences through the highs and lows of the group's career - from the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
