The Jersey Boys national tour is opening Tuesday, April 20 and plays through May 9 in Buffalo at Shea’s Performing Arts Center. Denise Payne, one of the production’s “Jersey Girls” is a Buffalo native.
Versatility is a critical quality for a Jersey Girl, says Denise. “The three women in the show play 54 characters! I have 19 quick changes. Our wardrobe person is amazing – our costumes are meticulously organized and labeled with our photographs. Some of them are extremely expensive. I play Frankie Valli’s mother; I also play his daughter. I play the date at the church. I play the woman of the evening. It’s all a lot of fun!”
Even with the thrill of touring in a hit show like Jersey Boys, Denise is excited to be performing at Shea’s. “Shea’s is a dream for every Buffalo performer. My family is still in Buffalo. My mom, sister, brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, two nieces, half-sister, and on and on. I keep telling everyone on this tour that they are going to love Shea’s and that they will love the Buffalo audience. Buffalo audiences are so responsive, so energetic! No city loves live entertainment more than Buffalo!”
