They are a legend: Between 1962 and 1976, The Four Seasons released a whopping 23 albums and gifted the world superhits like Big Girls Don’t Cry, My Boyfriend’s Back, Rag Doll, and many others. In memory of the exciting story of the unique band, the jukebox musical Jersey Boys arrived on Broadway in 2005 and became a huge success, filling theaters in London’s West End, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto, Singapore, South Africa, and the Netherlands. The musical was awarded four Tony Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award. None other than actor, director, and music fan CLINT EASTWOOD is now ensuring that a film adaptation of the musical hits theaters.

Jersey Boys: Music From The Motion Picture And Broadway Musical tells the story of Tommy DeVito, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi, and Frankie Valli, four young men who grew up in the wrong neighborhood of Jersey City, New Jersey, and formed one of the most successful bands of the 1960s: The Four Seasons. Their story of constant new beginnings and eventual success is recounted through hits that influenced an entire generation and are still heard today, including Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Dawn, Bye Bye Baby, Who Loves You, and many more...
With great care and love for the craft, soundtrack producer Bob Gaudio assembled an extensive set of songs that includes some of the best original recordings by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, mixed with the current versions performed by the actors of the film and the musical. The soundtrack offers a wealth of surprises and is the perfect audio companion for devoted Four Seasons fans and anyone who discovers The Four Seasons through the film.
About the Film
The lead roles in the film are perfectly cast: John Lloyd Young embodies the lead singer Frankie Valli, Erich Bergen plays Bob Gaudio, who composed or co-wrote all the major hits of The Four Seasons. Michael Lomenda and Vincent Piazza took on the roles of Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito, and Christopher Walken appears as a shady mobster.
Since 1971, Clint Eastwood has also been working as a director and has achieved global box office success with films like Space Cowboys, Million Dollar Baby, and Flags Of Our Fathers. Jersey Boys was created in collaboration with producers Graham King and Robert Lorenz, as well as with Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tim Moore, Tim Headington, James Packer, and Brett Ratner as executive producers. The screenplay and musical book are by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elicer, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
