Bass Concert Hall
“TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!” raves the New York Post for JERSEY BOYS, the 2006 Tony® Award-winning Best Musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi. This is the story of how four blue-collar kids became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide – all before they were 30. JERSEY BOYS, winner of the 2006 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album and, most recently, the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, features their hit songs “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Rag Doll,” “Oh What a Night” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” “IT WILL RUN FOR CENTURIES!” proclaims TIME MAGAZINE.

Video Sneak Peek
I saw Jersey Boys on
I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway. All I can say it is spectacular and a must-see.
Fridy 8/20 Performance
WOW! This was a great show!
Excellent show and cast. The staging was magnificent.
Bass Concert Hall has some real problems with the show’s narration and dialogue sound quality. The music sound was great, but the dialogue and narration was muted and difficult to hear (even sitting near the sound board; inexcusable).
Oh, What a Night!
It was fun to finally see “Jersey Boys“after hearing about it so long. Not quite my generation, but my mother played her Four Seasons album over and over, and my grade school girlfriends were named Candy, Dawn, and Sherry. It was not only a musical, but a comedy, too. I found it to be very funny, especially through the first act. It was very clever how the plot was divided into the Four Seasons. I had no idea what had really gone on in the group, and I won’t give it away so that you can witness the story unfold onstage. It brings the personalities to life and makes them personal. The costumes, images, and video are especially remarkable, as are the live filming and the way the band performed to different angles on the stage. It was too funny when they were bowing to our applause, although they were facing the back of the stage! I will never think of the song “Oh what a night” the same, now that I understand the “ended way too soon” part! Very fun and enjoyable show.

I know all the words to the Four Seasons’ songs. As a baby boomer I get nostalgic and fall in love all over again when I hear their music.
