"Jersey Boys" is the story of how Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons—Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi—became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were 30 years old. The show features all their hits, including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don’t Cry," "Oh What A Night" and "Working My Way Back To You."

"Jersey Boys" opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on Nov. 6, 2005. The U.S. national tour opened to rave reviews in San Francisco in December 2006 and is still breaking house records in cities across North America.

Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, "Jersey Boys" won the 2006 Tony Award for Best Musical, the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the 2010 Helpmann Award for Best Musical (Australia). "Jersey Boys" is written by Academy Award winners Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.

WMU alumnus Matthew Dailey will be playing the role of Tommy DeVito in the production.
