JERSEY BOYS EXTENDS



(The exhilerating finale of "Jersey Boys")

Showtime Management, South African producers of Jersey Boys, the sensational Broadway hit musical that has taken Johannesburg by storm, will have an extension to its season at the Teatro at Montecasino owing to overwhelming public demand.

Jersey Boys now runs at Montecasino until June 9 in time for its Cape Town season at Artscape which opens on June 19.

Presented by Investec in association with DSTV, Tsogo Sun and 702 Talk Radio, Jersey Boys is the newest Broadway musical to be staged in South Africa. Since the first curtain call on April 3, audiences are responding with enough enthusiasm and loud cheering to lift the roof off the Teatro. The pace of the production is mind-blowing, not to mention the slick set changes, perfect performances and electrifying on stage energy.

Jersey Boys tells the true real-life story of how four poverty line kids from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. 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!

The cast features Grant Almirall as Frankie Valli; Daniel Buys as Tommy DeVito; Kenneth Meyer as Bob Gaudio and television star Emmanuel Castis as Nick Massi with Jaco van Rensburg playing Frankie Valli at certain performances.

Jersey Boys runs at the Teatro at Montecasino until June 9. Book now at Computicket service centres, visit www.computicket.com or call 0861 813 9000
