After a short break, Jersey Boys is back on the streets.
Whether you saw them on their first tour or not, this case will give you just as good of a story and experience.
Frankie Valli, along with three of his friends, had a dream to become a famous band.
They were known by a different name growing up, but went famous with the name of Four Seasons.
Jersey Boys tells their story in a way that has never been heard.
From their friendship and hardships to momentous occasions - everything is covered.
The four boys were raised on the streets of Newark and were blue collar kids.
The combination of these circumstances had everyone telling them they would never make it; that there was no way for them to become famous musicians.
Surprisingly, this built a stronger bond between the boys, and made the fight even harder.
The Four Seasons was a unique band as they created a whole new beat, on that no one had yet heard.
Additionally, they wrote their own songs - a feat in its own.
They were so unique and catchy that they sold over 175 albums before they even reached the age of 30.
The Four Seasons may not sound familiar to you, but some of their songs definitely will.
Rag Doll, Oh What a Night, Big Girls Don't Cry, and Sherry are some of the most infamous songs - even younger generations have heard these songs.
Due to the nature of the story, musicians and the streets or Newark, Jersey Boys is not a family production.
This is a musical intended for older teenagers and adults as there is quite a bit of cursing along with some adult content.
All of this appears randomly throughout the show so attempting to cover a child's ears and eyes is not really an option.
There is no way to fit this amazing story into less than 3 hours.
You do; however, get a 15-minute intermission about half way through the show.
Even through Jersey Boys is a bit long for a musical, every audience comes out raving about the performances and the story.
Tickets - for Jersey Boys - can be purchased over the phone or online - prior to the show.
You can also purchase rush tickets right at the door the morning of the performance, they usually go on sale around 11 o'clock.
Due to the popularity of the show, it is highly suggested that this be a planned event and that you purchase your tickets in advance.

Whether you are into the Four Seasons, musicals, or theater - Jersey Boys will catch your attention.
This show is not about the bright lights and smoke, but about the story of four young boys who fight their way to the top.

It's a show worth seeing.
Take a night off and enjoy escaping into a life you have not experienced.
