‘Jersey Boys’ Brings the Music of The Four Seasons to The Lights

WEST FARGO, ND – The story and music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will be heard as JERSEY BOYS takes center stage next month at the Essentia Health Plaza at The Lights. The Tony Award-winning Best Musical plays for seven performances scheduled June 23-25 & 27-30 in West Fargo. Original JERSEY BOYS Broadway cast member, Peter Gregus, serves as the show’s choreographer and co-director alongside Stage West Artistic Director, Adam Pankow. Gregus served as the production’s Dance Captain and played the role of Bob Crewe throughout the musical’s developmental process and for the entirety of the show’s 11-year, 4,642 performance run on Broadway.

Through phenomenal music, memorable characters, and dynamic storytelling, JERSEY BOYS follows the fascinating evolution of four blue-collar kids who became one of the greatest successes in pop-music history. The musical is a behind the scenes look at the personal and professional highs and lows of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons as the foursome work their way from the streets of New Jersey to the heights of stardom. Electrifying performances of the group’s chart-topping hits including “Sherry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “December ‘63 (Oh, What a Night),” and “My Eyes Adored You” punctuate the 40-year friendship of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy Devito, and Nick Massi from their introduction to each other (arranged by a young Joe Pesci) through their induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

Stage West’s production is among the first 50 productions to be performed worldwide following the original runs in New York and London, first-class tours, and regional theatre productions. Stage West’s JERSEY BOYS features some of the area’s top local talent comprising a 12-person cast and 12-piece, live orchestra. It is the first of two musicals planned this summer at The Lights with FOOTLOOSE set to take the stage July 28-30 & August 1-4.
