'Jersey Boys' to close in the West End

The Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical Jersey Boys will play its final performance at the Trafalgar Theatre after over 1,000 performances.

Jersey Boys will close on 4 January 2024 after three successful years in London's West End at the Trafalgar Theatre.

The award-winning musical follows the remarkable journey of the iconic 1960s rock 'n' roll group, The Four Seasons. The story follows the rise to fame of the group's members: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi, from the gritty streets of New Jersey to international stardom.

The musical features hit songs such as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and "Walk Like a Man." Find out more about Jersey Boys in our guide.

"It's been 18 years since the first inception of Jersey Boys, with over 30 million people having seen the musical worldwide and almost 300 actors having donned the famous red jacket," Howard Panter, producer for Trafalgar Theatre Productions, said in a statement. "It has been magnificent to see London audiences truly embrace the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons over the last three years, with packed houses and standing ovations every night. Fans of the musical can enjoy extra performances over the festive period, and I'm incredibly proud of our talented West End cast who will lead the show into its final performances at the Trafalgar Theatre."
