This month, we are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the world premiere of JERSEY BOYS at La Jolla Playhouse!

Visit Playbill.com for the exciting press release that states that Christian Hoff, David Noroña, Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer star as the title group in the world premiere of Jersey Boys, a musical centering on Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons which opens La Jolla Playhouse, Oct. 17.

The California company’s artistic director Des McAnuff (Dracula) stages the new musical which began previews Oct. 5 for a run at the Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre through Nov. 21.

As we all know, JERSEY BOYS extended multiple times from its original closing date–through January, 2005!

Happy world premiere opening anniversary to all of the geniuses who brought JERSEY BOYS to the stage!

  1. Thanks for sharing this anniversary date. Somehow I thought it opened early 2005 for a few months. Previews on Broadway were just 364 days after the La Jolla previews.

  2. Glad to see the original backups to David Norona and John Lloyd Young. Were always three of my favorites. Also glad that any and all legal differences are reconciled. We shouldnever lose sight of the fact that the original 4 seasons in their day remain the best. Letus all remember the forgiveness and kindness of the hearts of Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio.

  3. This is where it all began. I wish I could’ve seen Mr. Norona as Frankie Valli. Congratulations to everyone involved with the show.
