Sure, Mike “The Situation” and DJ Pauly D from MTV’s hit reality show Jersey Shore might be causing quite a stir, but theater fans know that the original boys from Jersey are Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The musical Kamagra Soft biography of the New Jersey-bred group of the same name, Jersey Boys first took the stage in La Jolla, Calif. in 2004 and made its Broadway debut in the Big Apple the following year.

Don’t expect to see a mere tribute concert when you get Jersey Boys tickets to see the Tony Award-winner on Broadway or its national tour, as the show delves into the relationships between Valli the rest of the group.

Frankie Valli was born Francis Casteluccio in Newark, N.J. and expressed an interest in music early on. At the encouragement of his mother, the young hopeful musician listened to R&B groups like the Drifters and the Clovers , but everything changed when he saw Frank Sinatra perform at the age Levitra of seven. After releasing a few solo recordings, Valli formed his first band with guitarist brothers Nick and Tommy DeVito and bassist Hank Makewski.

The group scored a minor hit under the name the Four Lovers in 1956, performing on the Ed Sullivan Show and meeting fellow rising star Elvis Presley. Nick DeVito and Majewski were replaced by Bob Guadio and Nick Massi in 1960 and the group changed their name to the Four Seasons, soon signing with Vee-Jee records and scoring a hit with “Sherry” in 1962.

“Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl,” “Stay” and “Alone” followed in the No. 1 footsteps of “Sherry,” and the Four Seasons enjoyed success while enduring lineup changes through the late 1960s. Frankie Valli launched a concurrent solo career in 1965 and the group effectively began releasing songs as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. After a few slow years, the group and Valli’s solo career made comebacks in 1975, but Valli exited the lineup it 1979 and the group disbanded in 1979. Much to the delight of fans, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons reunited in 1980 and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Fans that missed Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in their heyday can get Jersey Boys tickets online to see the musical that has had everyone talking since its debut. Directed by Des McAnuff with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, Jersey Boys features music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe and chronicles the rise, fall and times in between for the four boys from Jersey.

Jersey Boys swept the Tony Awards in 2006-taking home awards for Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical (John Lloyd Young for his portrayal of Frankie Valli), Lighting for a Musical and Featured Actor in a Musical (Christian Hoff for his portrayal of Tommy DeVito)-at the 60th annual Tony Awards. Now that Jersey Boys has hit the road on a national tour fans can’t seem to get enough of these Garden State natives.
