LAS VEGAS, April 30 /PRNewswire/ — After a productive and encouraging
month of preview performances, JERSEY BOYS, the story of Frankie Valli and The
Four Seasons, will celebrate its Opening Night on Saturday, May 3 at The
Palazzo Las Vegas.
The talented cast will be joined by the remaining original Four Seasons,
Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio and Tommy DeVito, as the show makes its highly
anticipated Las Vegas debut. Expected invited guests also include Joe Pesci,
Willie Garson, La Toya Jackson, Siegfried & Roy, John Cleese, Billy Crystal,
Michael Urie, Wayne Brady and Rita Rudner.
“We are delighted to open the newest addition of the JERSEY BOYS family in
Las Vegas,” said JERSEY BOYS producer Michael David. “With a one-of-a-kind
cast and a beautiful new theatre in the recently opened Palazzo, it is our
fondest hope that JERSEY BOYS now become a fresh, new, happy, tax-paying
resident of Las Vegas for a long time to come.”
A unique, custom-built theatre houses JERSEY BOYS Las Vegas and is
currently the only place on the West Coast to see this runaway hit.
“Las Vegas is a great place for JERSEY BOYS,” said Scott Zeiger of BASE
Entertainment. “The story and the music fit so well with this town, we are
proud to be a part of bringing it here and think it’s a natural fit.”
Adorned with special period influences and one-of-a-kind memorabilia from
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the JERSEY BOYS Theatre will evoke fond
memories of the 1960’s era.
“The timeless music and intriguing story of the Four Seasons creates an
energy and excitement that spreads throughout The Palazzo after every
performance,” said Rob Goldstein, president and COO of The Palazzo. “We wanted
the centerpiece of entertainment at The Palazzo to be a dynamic experience
that engages the audience and leaves them wanting more. JERSEY BOYS is
exactly that type of show and we are extremely happy to be celebrating its
Opening Night.”

at 7 p.m.; Tuesday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. and will be dark on

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. The show features such hits as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t
Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Oh, What a Night,” and many more.
JERSEY BOYS is written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by
Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe. The Las Vegas production is staged by the
entire original Broadway creative team, led by director Des McAnuff and
choreographer Sergio Trujillo. JERSEY BOYS has scenic design by Klara
Zieglerova, costume design by Jess Goldstein, lighting by Howell Binkley,
sound by Steve Canyon Kennedy and projections design by Michael Clark. The
orchestrations are by Steve Orich and the music direction and vocal
arrangements by Ron Melrose.
JERSEY BOYS is presented in Las Vegas by original Broadway producers
Dodger Theatricals, Joseph Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group
together with BASE Entertainment (Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular); in
association with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
