JERSEY BOYS is back in Australia and the full company have commenced rehearsals. JERSEY BOYS will open at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre on 6 September 2018 for a strictly limited season, followed by a season in Brisbane from 2 January 2019 and Melbourne from 23 February.
This internationally acclaimed hit musical tells the true-life story of four guys from the wrong side of the tracks, and the rise to stardom of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, one of the most successful bands in pop music history. The band sold more than 175 million records and were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame for their worldwide hits, including Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Walk Like a Man, Bye Bye Baby, Sherry and Big Girls Don’t Cry, which all feature in the musical.
After auditioning 450 artists nationwide, the dynamic cast is a combination of exciting and emerging Australian talent. Stepping into the illustrious shoes of the charismatic singer Frankie Valli is BERNARD ANGEL who played Joe Pesci in the original Australian production. He will be joined by CAMERON MacDONALD as Tommy DeVito, THOMAS McGUANE as Bob Gaudio making his career debut after graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts and GLASTON TOFT, reprising his celebrated portrayal of the band’s musical marvel Nick Massi.
