Standing ovations, packed houses and cheering crowds of people who look more like they’re at a concert than a Broadway show have become commonplace at Shea’s Performing Arts Center.
It’s all thanks to blockbuster musical “Jersey Boys,” which is in the midst of a three-week run at Shea’s, performing till May 09, 2010. The Tony, Grammy and Olivier award winner for best musical is the true story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. It portrays a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who make it big, selling 175 million records worldwide before they turn 30 years old.
It may sound like a typical Hollywood storyline, but Shea’s President and CEO Tony Conte said there’s no fluff in this story line.
“Probably the most interesting part of this particular production is that this is not a story that has been cleaned up for public viewing or anything like that. It’s the real story,” Conte said. “Having met Frankie Valli when the show opened and talked to him, he assured me that this is in fact the real story. It has all the ugly stuff about it.”
The Jersey Boys show ends in Buffalo, NY on May 09, 2010. Buy your tickets to see the show.
