‘Jersey Boys’ Sets Ending Date in Chicago

The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Jersey Boys came to Chicago on October 5, 2007, set to play a limited engagement in the Midwest hotspot, but here it is almost two years later and the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is still tearing up the theatrical scene in the Windy City. While Jersey Boys has had an incredible run in Chicago, it was announced this week that the production will finally be ending its reign at Chicago’s Bank of America Theatre, with a closing performance scheduled for January 10, 2010. Upon its closing, Jersey Boys will have played 951 performances total, having become a resident production on February 27, 2008.

Producer Michael David spoke on the immense success Jersey Boys has had in Chicago over the past two years, saying, “We came to Chicago for a visit, and the Windy City became our home away from home for what will be over two years. Such conversions happen rarely in the theater and we are proud to have made Chicago home for as long as we have. It is breathtaking. Our profound thanks to the citizens of Chicago who have made us such welcome neighbors.” Tickets for the final block of performances, running November 29, 2009 through January 10, 2010, go on sale this Friday, Sept. 11, at 10 a.m.
