The multi-award-winning West End production of Jersey Boys will take its final bow at the Trafalgar Theatre on 4 January 2024 after 1,000 performances.
Announcing the end date for the musical’s latest London run, Edward Strong, producer partner for the Dodgers, said: “The Jersey-style Yanks who collaborated with their friends at Trafalgar Theatre Productions to return the musical joyride to the West End for a multi-year encore thank all of our UK colleagues and audiences who brought the excitement to every performance. The legend of the Four Seasons – Frankie, Bob, Nick and Tommy – shines on, burnished once again by the warm reception given to their music and their story by all the Jersey Boys fans in the UK. Seasons to come may well see another Jersey Boys replay in all the markets that welcomed us so avidly.”
Howard Panter, producer for Trafalgar Theatre Productions, added: “It’s been 18 years since the first inception of Jersey Boys, with over 30 million people having seen the musical worldwide and almost 300 actors having donned the famous red jacket. It has been magnificent to see London audiences truly embrace the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons over the last three years, with packed houses and standing ovations every night. Fans of the musical can enjoy extra performances over the festive period, and I’m incredibly proud of our talented West End cast who will lead the show into its final performances at the Trafalgar Theatre.”
The current cast is led by Luke Suri (Frankie Valli), Karl James Wilson (Nick Massi), Peter Nash (Tommy De Vito) and Declan Egan (Bob Gaudio) as the Four Seasons.
They are joined by Joey Cornish as Joe Pesci, Joseph Peters as Bob Crewe, with Andy Barke as Gyp De Carlo, Kirsty Whelan as Mary Delgado, Oliver Tester as Norm Waxman/Hank Majewski, Jacob McIntosh as Barry Belson, Gracie Lai as Lorraine and Rosie Needham as Francine.
