What did our critic think of JERSEY BOYS at Fulton Theatre? Jersey Boys made its local premiere at Fulton Theatre recently. While there were certain pandemic related setbacks and obstacles, it was definitely worth the wait. Fulton's production of Jersey Boys is an amazing combination of blockbuster songs, amazing harmonies, and engaging storytelling.

Fulton Theatre opens the regional premier of Jersey Boys Thursday, June 30, 2022. Jersey Boys is the story and history of Frank Valli and The Four Seasons. The production follows the journey of the band's creation, the struggles they faced, and the triumphs that made them one of the most recognizable American rock and roll bands.

In the final moments of the 2005 hit musical JERSEY BOYS, Frankie Valli muses, “We were all just chasing the music.” For those fans of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and the Bob Gaudio/Bob Crewe/Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice show about the group’s rise to fame and artistic and personal struggles, the “chase” need take them no farther than Westbrook Performing Arts Center where Maine State Music Theatre has mounted a spectacular production that is a must-see. In their only main stage show of the 2021 season, MSMT’s JERSEY BOYS, directed by Mark Martino and choreographed by Kenny Ingram, is a joyous, boisterous, dazzling, powerful, incisive, edgy and ultimately uplifting story that rivets from start to finish.

This joyful event aimed to encourage New Yorkers and tourists alike to put away the screens, throw on their most fabulous looks, and reemerge into this great city to fall in love with it all over again.
