JERSEY BOYS is back in Australia having played to rave reviews at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre in 2018. JERSEY BOYS will play at the Regent Theatre from Saturday 23 February 2019 for an eight week season only.
This internationally acclaimed hit musical tells the true-life story of four guys from the wrong side of the tracks, and the rise to stardom of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, one of the most successful bands in pop music history. The band sold more than 175 million records and were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame for their worldwide hits, including Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Walk Like a Man, Bye Bye Baby, Sherry and Big Girls Don’t Cry, which all feature in the musical.
This dynamic cast is a combination of exciting and emerging Australian talent. Stepping into the illustrious shoes of the charismatic singer Frankie Valli are RYAN GONZALEZ and DANIEL RASO who share the role. They are joined by CAMERON MACDONALD as Tommy DeVito, THOMAS MCGUANE as Bob Gaudio, who is making his career debut after graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts and GLASTON TOFT, reprising his celebrated portrayal of the band’s musical marvel Nick Massi.
The dynamic line-up of ensemble artists includes CRISTINA D’AGOSTINO (Green Room Award winner for Guys and Dolls), MIA DABKOWSKI-CHANDLER (Aladdin the Musical), SAGE DOUGLAS (The Wizard of Oz), MACKENZIE DUNN (2017 WAAPA Graduate and making her professional debut in Jersey Boys), GLENN HILL (recently in Matilda the Musical), LUIGI LUCENTE (Muriel’s Wedding), ENRICO MAMMARELLA (recreating his role as ‘Gyp DeCarlo’ from the original company of Jersey Boys), SCOTT MCCONNELL (Production Company’s Jesus Christ Superstar), JOSH MULHERAN (The Book of Mormon), JACK O’RILEY (Rent at the Hayes Theatre), MATTHEW PRIME (currently in his graduating year at the Victorian College of the Arts and making his professional debut in Jersey Boys), and RUTENE SPOONER (making his Australian musical theatre debut).
