Music Circus Sacramento is set to welcome the critically acclaimed musical “Jersey Boys” next week, offering audiences a chance to relive the remarkable journey of one of America’s most iconic pop music groups. The production opens on August 20 and will run through September 1, promising to be great late summer entertainment scene at the UC Davis Health Pavillion
“Jersey Boys” chronicles the meteoric rise of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, a group of blue-collar boys from the streets of New Jersey who became international superstars. The musical, featuring a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, music by Bob Gaudio, and lyrics by Bob Crewe, captures both the triumphs and tribulations of the band. Audiences can look forward to hearing timeless hits such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” and more. The local show is directed by Glenn Casale.
Once open, Jersey Boys will run for 2 weeks, from Aug. 20 – Sep. 1. In the first week, evening performances are Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30 PM. Matinees are Thursday and Saturday at 2:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM. In the second week, evening performances are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM. Matinees are Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 2:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM.
“Jersey Boys” is more than just a jukebox musical; it’s a true, sometimes gritty, and always spectacularly entertaining story of perseverance, talent, and the American Dream. The show unfolds in four parts, each told from the perspective of one of the band members, giving audiences an authentic glimpse into the personal and professional challenges faced by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. From their humble beginnings and the thrill of superstardom to their struggles with loan sharks, jail time, and tense dealings with the Mob, the story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, all set to a soundtrack of unforgettable hits.
Since its debut in 2005, “Jersey Boys” has become a staple of American musical theater, with over 3,000 performances on Broadway and four Tony Awards to its name. The musical’s enduring appeal lies in its ability to connect with audiences through its rags-to-riches narrative and the universal themes of friendship, ambition, and resilience.
