Jersey Boys are Getting Comfortable in the Windy City

It appears that the Tony-Award winning musical will officially extend its run in Chicago after an initial limited run.  Jersey Boys has been extremely popular among the public with good reason.  The company features some very talented stage actors including: Drew Gehling, Michael Ingersoll and Jeremy Kushnier.  Producer Michael David commented his sentiments on the extension to Playbill.com by saying, “Oh behalf of Jersey Boys, its entire cast and crew-once potential carpet-baggers turned happy, new residents-I want to express our profound appreciation for the overwhelming welcome we have received here, and for the consequent happiness at being able to now truly plant ourselves in Chicago at the LaSalle Bank Theatre for a long time to come.”

The cold weather doesn’t seem to both the cast and crew, who are all too thrilled to make Chicago a more permanent home from now on.  The musical, according to press notes posted on Playbill.com is, “the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, a group of blue collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of tall time.  They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.”  If you are interested in their catchy music and would like to learn more about this incredible group of musicians, be sure to purchase your pair of Jersey Boys tickets soon!
