The musical opened on Broadway on November 6, 2005 at the August Wilson Theatre. Directed by Des McAnuff, artistic director at La Jolla Playhouse, the musical uses many of the group’s hit songs to tell the turbulent story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ rise to fame. Part concert, part Jukebox musical, Jersey Boys took in over $400,000 at the box office the day after it opened. Jersey Boys premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse on October 5, 2004 and ran through January 16, 2005.
The first national Jersey Boys tour began on December 10, 2006 at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. On May 3, 2007, that tour’s run ended in San Francisco to prepare for its Los Angeles premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre. The next day, the second national tour debuted at the Curran and ended its run on September 30, 2007, before transferring for a long run at Chicago’s LaSalle Bank Theatre through 2008. The second tour started in Chicago on October 5, 2007 with Chicagoan Michael Ingersoll in the role of Nick Massi. The national tour was promoted prominently by Broadway In Chicago and TheatreDreams who included it as part of their subscription series.

Meanwhile the original US Tour continues to make its way across the country.
