The original Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical phenomenon, JERSEY BOYS, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a triumphant return to the UK and Ireland. The spectacular tour is set to open at the New Wimbledon Theatre on June 17, 2026, and will run well into 2027, with more dates still to be announced.
This smash-hit show takes audiences behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, tracing their journey from the streets of New Jersey all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Boys are Back on the Road
Jersey Boys chronicles the true-life phenomenon of four working-class guys whose unique sound captivated the world. While their harmonies were perfect on stage, the story off-stage provides the drama and grit that cemented their legacy as international sensations.
The musical features all their iconic hits, including classics like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don’t Cry," "Walk Like A Man," "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You," "Beggin’," and "Oh What a Night." The show, which has won 65 major awards and been seen by over 30 million people worldwide, is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
Producer Michael David of The Dodgers commented on the enduring success: “We are thrilled for JERSEY BOYS to return to the road across the United Kingdom and Ireland. When the show first opened on Broadway 20 years ago, little did we know the story of these four blue collar kids... would resonate across the UK.”
Original Creative Team Returns
The 20th Anniversary tour will be staged by the entire original Broadway creative team, led by Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo.
The initial tour leg includes stops at the Bristol Hippodrome, Alhambra Theatre Bradford, Manchester Palace Theatre, Edinburgh Playhouse, and Cardiff Wales Millenium Centre. Tickets for most venues go on general sale on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
