NEW YORK — “Jersey Boys,” the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical based on the Four Seasons’ career and harmonies, has finally hit a sour note — it’s closing in January after 11 years.
Producers said Tuesday the show will hold its final performance on Jan. 15 after 4,642 shows at the August Wilson Theatre. It is the 12th-longest running show in Broadway history.
The musical, which opened in 2005, tells the story of Bob Gaudio, Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi and features 20 Four Seasons songs, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and “Oh, What a Night.”
It won the Tony for best musical, a Grammy Award for best cast album and grossed over $2 billion worldwide and been seen by an estimated 24 million people in 11 countries. A film adaptation by Clint Eastwood came out in 2015 but failed to live up to the buzz.
