Music Circus Sacramento will welcome the critically acclaimed musical “Jersey Boys” next week, offering audiences the chance to relive the remarkable journey of one of America’s most iconic pop music groups. The production opens August 20 and runs through August 25, promising great late-summer entertainment at the UC Davis Health Pavillion
Jersey Boys tells the story of the meteoric rise of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, a group of working men from the streets of New Jersey who became international superstars. With a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, the musical captures both the band’s triumphs and their woes. Audiences can expect timeless hits such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and more.
Performances take place Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with additional matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Following the Sunday matinee, there will be a special talkback session with the cast, offering fans a unique opportunity to talk to the cast and gain deeper insights into the production.
Known for its intimate in-the-round staging, Music Circus Sacramento offers an immersive experience that enhances the show’s dynamic energy. Director and choreographer Michael K. Williams, who leads the creative team, aims to breathe new vitality into the production while staying true to the essence of the original Broadway hit.
Jersey Boys is more than just a jukebox musical; it’s a true, sometimes tough and always spectacularly entertaining story of perseverance, talent and the American dream. The show unfolds in four parts, each told from the perspective of a band member, giving audiences an authentic look at the personal and professional challenges that Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons have faced. From their humble beginnings and the thrill of superstardom to their battles with loan sharks, prison stints and strained relationships with the Mafia, the story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, all set to a soundtrack of unforgettable hits.
Since its debut in 2005, Jersey Boys has become a staple of American musical theater, with over 3,000 performances on Broadway and four Tony Awards. The musical’s enduring appeal stems from its ability to connect with audiences through its rags-to-riches narrative and universal themes of friendship, ambition and resilience.
