A French Twist
‘Jersey Boys’ heads to Paris Las Vegas
You don’t have to be a fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to fall in love with “Jersey Boys” — the hit musical based on that group’s sensational story which, after nearly four years at The Palazzo, opens at Paris Las Vegas on March 6.
With its move to the Paris
Théâtre, “Jersey Boys” — which was named “Best Show” by the readers of
Las Vegas Review- Journal last year — will enjoy a more visible
center-Strip location. Aside from a wider stage, the production will
remain largely unchanged from its Palazzo run.

‘Simply put, it’s great music.... People know these songs.’
“One of the best
things about this show is that anyone can come enjoy it — people who
love the music, people who like musical theater, people who don’t like
musical theater,” said Jeff Leibow, who plays Four Seasons
bassist/vocalist Nick Massi in the Vegas version of “Jersey Boys.” “You
don’t even have to know who the Four Seasons are to enjoy ‘Jersey
Boys.’” The show is a documentary-style “jukebox musical” that follows
the transformation of four blue-collar New Jersey boys into one of
music’s biggest success stories (the Four Seasons sold more than 175
million records before they were 30).
“Simply
put, it’s great music. Whether or not they know the Four Seasons,
people know these songs,” said Travis Cloer, who plays the group’s
frontman, Frankie Valli.
The
show’s dramatization of the group’s 1960 formation, its giddy spiral of
success and eventual breakup is punctuated by the hits that made the
Four Seasons a household name, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t
Cry,” “Walk Like a Man” and many more.
“Jersey
Boys,” with its memorable melodies and classic American Dream story
line, has resonated with the public. Worldwide, the show has been seen
by over 13 million people.
