Jersey Boys 

About

Duluth Playhouse is thrilled to kick off its 2024-2025 season with the global smash-hit sensation Jersey Boys, running September 13 - 29, 2024 at the NorShor Theatre. The Tony and Grammy® Award-winning musical follows the fascinating evolution of four blue-collar kids who became one of the greatest successes in pop-music history.

Set against the gritty backdrop of 1950s New Jersey, the jukebox musical tells the riveting story of young Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi as they claw their way to the top of the music world. Determined to escape their rough beginnings, they join forces with songwriter Bob Gaudio, creating the legendary Four Seasons. Their breakout hit, "Sherry," catapults them into the spotlight, leading to a string of chart-toppers like "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man." But as their fame skyrockets, so do the pressures and conflicts within the group, threatening to tear them apart. Through it all, Frankie Valli pushes forward, carving out a solo career that cements his place in music history. The musical climaxes with the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, a powerful tribute to their enduring impact and the unforgettable songs that defined a generation.
