Apparently theater lovers still have some disposable income — or just don’t care about debt.
This just in:
Four additional weeks have been announced for the Boston engagement of Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, playing the Citi Performing Arts Center Shubert Theatre.
The 10 week run starts Thursday, July 23, and continues through Sunday, Sept. 26.
Jersey Boys is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award and the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.
Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, Jersey Boys is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
The show follows the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were 30.
Jersey Boys opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on Nov. 6, 2005. The Jersey Boys National Tour opened to rave reviews in San Francisco on Dec. 1, 2006, played a record-breaking run in Los Angeles and is still breaking house records in cities across North America.
There are six current productions of Jersey Boys: New York, London, Chicago, Las Vegas, Toronto, a U.S. National tour, and a seventh production will open in Melbourne, Australia in July 2009.
The Boston performance schedule is Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., except for Press night on Wednesday, July 29 at 7 p.m., and Sundays at 7 p.m., with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m., and an additional matinee on Thursday, July 30 at 2 p.m.
