Attention to all musical show fans,
take note, as the popular “Jersey Boys” performance
is finally coming to Malaysia. Jersey Boys has been performed over 3000 times
and is now the 14th longest running show on Broadway. It has been seen and
adored by over 18 million people.
Without a doubt, the show this time
will definitely mesmerize the Malaysians with its brilliance and energy.
Introduction
of the show:
Organised by Milestone Production Sdn Bhd, JERSEY
BOYS revolves around the true-life story and the remarkable rise to stardom
of one of the most successful bands in American pop music history – Frankie
Valli and The Four Seasons - how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong
side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of
all time. Apart from featuring the band’s 60’s American pop worldwide hits,
JERSEY BOYS also tells the story of the inspiring journey of The Four Seasons
from the mean streets of Newark, New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi wrote
their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records
globally – all before they were thirty!
JERSEY BOYS, winner of 54 major awards
including the 2006 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album, 2009 Olivier
Award for Best New Musical and winner of the Best Musical Tony Award® on
Broadway, in London and Australia is not a tribute band but a full-scale
Broadway musical that takes audiences behind the music” to tell the story of
the group through each of the four members’ perspectives.
The storyline tells a tale about
friendships, hardships, fights and the success resulting from a New Jersey
“handshake”. The show opened on Broadway in 2005 and 3000 performances later is
STILL running to full houses. JERSEY BOYS is the 15th longest-running show in
Broadway history; having surpassed the record previously held by Hello, Dolly!
The Four Seasons are played by Grant
Almirall (Chicago, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Frankie Valli; Daniel Buys
(Boys in the Photograph, Mamma Mia!) as Tommy DeVito; Kenneth Meyer (Boys in
the Photograph, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Bob Gaudio and television star
Emmanuel Castis (Scandal, Isidingo, season 4 winner of Strictly Come Dancing)
as Nick Massi with Jaco van Rensburg (Showboat, Chicago, Grease) playing
Frankie Valli at certain performances. The three leading female characters,
fondly dubbed, the “Jersey Girls” are played by Carmen Pretorius (Footloose!,
Mamma Mia, Cabaret), Taryn-Lee Hudson (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Kidz Rock,
Let the Good Times Roll) and Kirsten Murphy-Rossiter (Some Like it Vrot,
Grease, M-Net’s Crimes Uncovered).
According to Grace Lee, Managing Director of Milestone Production Sdn Bhd, “In
our constant endeavor to introduce world-renowned and the best theatrical
productions to Malaysia, we are proud to be bringing this multi-award Broadway
musical to our shores. In addition to bringing in world class quality
