PRESS RELEASE

JERSEY BOYS, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, will premiere in Sacramento in September, 2007 as part of a National Tour.  Directed by two-time Tony^® Award-winner Des McAnuff, JERSEY BOYS won four 2006 Tony^® Awards including Best Musical and continues to set new weekly box office records at the August Wilson Theatre, where it has remained among the five top grossing shows in New York since opening in November, 2005.  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.

JERSEY BOYS will be presented at the Community Center Theater by California Musical Theater, the region's largest nonprofit arts organization, as part of its Broadway Sacramento season.  The engagement will run September 7-22, and single-show tickets will go on sale on Monday, July 30.  The show is currently available to Broadway Sacramento subscribers and to groups of 12 or more.

JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story of how a 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 thirty.

Casting for the Sacramento engagement of JERSEY BOYS will be announced at a later date.

The JERSEY BOYS design and production team comprises Klara Zieglerova (Scenic Design), Jess Goldstein (Costume Design), Howell Binkley (winner of the 2006 Tony Award® for his Lighting Design of JERSEY BOYS), Steve Canyon Kennedy (Sound Design), Michael Clark (Projections Design), Charles LaPointe (Wig and Hair Design), Steve Orich (Orchestrations) and Ron Melrose (Music Direction, Vocal Arrangements & Incidental Music).

JERSEY BOYS is produced by Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group, in association with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.

CRITICAL PRAISE:

"Too good to be true.  The book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is as tight and absorbing as an Arthur Miller play.  The cast is just plain wonderful.  The glitzy, sleight-of-hand staging by Des McAnuff doesn't hurt either.  With its vibrant choreography by Sergio Trujillo, imaginative settings by Klara Zieglerova, spot-on costumes by Jess Goldstein, and arena-style lighting by Howell Binkley, JERSEY BOYS is terrific - a show dynamically alive in music, while as a drama, it catches the very texture, almost the actual smell of its time." - Clive Barnes, New York Post

"The most exciting musical Broadway has seen in years.  A dazzling piece of conceptual direction by Des McAnuff, shrewdly penned by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, this endlessly savvy production works the audience up into such high stakes lather that the on-stage performances of boffo songs become catharses.  You don't ever want to look away." - Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

""The crowd goes wild.  I'm talking about the real crowd at the August Wilson Theatre, who seem to have forgotten what year it is or how old they are or, most important, that John Lloyd Young is not Frankie Valli.  And everything that leads up to the curtain call feels as real and vivid as the sting of your hands clapping together." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times 

"It all starts and ends with the book, and this one by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is a winner.  It's the funny, original and moving way this story is told that makes it stand out.  The versatile ensemble is first-rate.  JERSEY BOYS works because its collaborators -those both on and offstage - found themselves in perfect harmony." -Roma Torre, NY1 News

"A can't-stop-the-music tidal wave.  Enjoy juicy behind-the-scenes true stories?  Then, without a doubt, this is the hot new Broadway show for you.  A fast-moving script electrified by most of the group's greatest hits.  Energetically weaving story, songs, visuals and performances, Des McAnuff stages a compelling rush of events that pauses only occasionally to savor the beauty of the songs." -Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger

"I entered a skeptic, but promptly turned believer.  Smart dialogue, devastating direction and overwhelming emotional impact." - John Simon, Bloomberg.com

BIOGRAPHIES:

MARSHALL BRICKMAN (Book). Films: (author or co-author) Sleeper, Annie Hall (AA), Manhattan, Manhattan Murder Mystery; (writer/director) Simon, Lovesick, The Manhattan Project, Sister Mary Explains it All. Television: The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (head writer), The Dick Cavett ABC late night show (head writer/co-producer). Mr. Brickman entered show business as a musician, first as a member of the folk group the Tarriers and then, along with John and Michelle Phillips, as one of the New Journeymen, which re-emerged a year later (Brickman having moved onto saner pursuits) as The Mommas and the Papas. Brickman's recording (with Eric Weissberg) of the soundtrack of Deliverance, recorded in 1963, achieved gold status twice and remains a healthy seller around the world forty years later. Mr. Brickman has published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy, and other periodicals. Jersey Boys is his first venture into the musical theater.

RICK ELICE (Book) wrote a popular thriller, Double Double (translated in 16 languages), Leonardo's Ring (London Fringe, 2003) and Dog and Pony (New York Stage & Film, 2003).  From 1982-2000, as creative director at Serino Coyne Inc., he produced ad campaigns for some 300 Broadway shows, from A Chorus Line to Lion King. Since 2000, he has served as creative consultant for The Walt Disney Studio.  BA, Cornell University; MFA, Yale Drama School; Teaching Fellow, Harvard University; charter member, American Repertory Theater. In 2003, he appeared off-Broadway in Elaine May's comedy, Adult Entertainment. With Marshall Brickman, he is currently writing another Broadway musical, to be directed by Tommy Tune.  End of credits.  Rick saw his first Broadway show when he was three.  His mother said he was very well-behaved.  From that day, he dreamed of working in the theater.  From the age of nineteen, he has.  Heartfelt thanks to those he's been lucky enough to know, whose work makes him grateful for the day he was born:  Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner, Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, Coyne, Brickman and Rees.  Rick thinks about them a lot.  He never thought about Jersey much.  He does now.

BOB GAUDIO (Music) wrote his first hit, "Who Wears Short Shorts," at 15, for the Royal Teens, a group he started, then went on to become a founding member of the Four Seasons and the band's principal songwriter. He also produced the hit "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" for Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy nomination, Record of the Year), as well as six albums for Diamond, including The Jazz Singer.  Other producing credits include albums for Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and the soundtrack for Little Shop of Horrors. Several songs co-written with Bob Crewe have been cover hits for such artists as the Tremeloes ("Silence Is Golden") and the Walker Brothers ("The Sun Ain`t Gonna Shine Anymore") Lauren Hill ("Can't Take My Eyes Off You"). With his wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who Loves You album for the Four Seasons, and one of Billboard's longest-charted singles (54 weeks), "Oh, What A Night." A highpoint in his career came in 1990, when, as a member of the original Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which hailed him as  "a quintessential music-maker."  In 1995, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. To this day, Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership...on a handshake.

BOB CREWE (Lyrics). "New York was pregnant in the fifties," says Bob Crewe, "gestating with possibilities." Crewe and music partner Frank Slay became independent writer-producers when the category hadn't yet been invented. In 1957 they wrote and produced "Silhouettes" for The Rays, skyrocketing to #1. Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" and Billy & Lillie's "Lah Dee Da." Crewe's 1960's solo unprecedented producing success with The Four Seasons birthed a new sound, striking a major chord in American Pop. "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," "Candy Girl," "Ronnie" - all smashes! When lead Frankie Valli demanded a solo turn, Crewe & Bob Gaudio wrote and Crewe produced "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," eventually becoming the century's fifth most played song. Crewe ran hot with artists from Vicki Carr, Oliver, Lesley Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with Charles Fox the soundtrack for Jane Fonda's film, "Barbarella". Then his own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with Music To Watch Girls By. In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived Frankie Valli with "My Eyes Adored You" by Crewe & Kenny Nolan. They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" (#1, July '75) - to re-hit again from the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge (#1, June '01). Credit: David Ritz.
