The State Theatre will present “Jersey Boys” as part of its 2017-28 season.
The musical “Jersey Boys” — which tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and features many of that group’s best known songs — will make its New Jersey premiere at the State Theatre, Oct. 13-15, as part of the New Brunswick theater’s 2017-18 season.
This is a touring version of the Broadway hit that won four Tonys, including Best Musical, in 2006.
Other offerings in the State Theatre’s season will include Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Boz Scaggs, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” “Motown the Musical,” Kathy Griffin, Tracy Morgan, Brad Garrett and Rita Rudner, Tango Buenos Aires, The Irish Tenors and the venue’s traditional New Year’s Eve “Salute to Vienna.”
Here are the season’s shows. Some are already on sale, some go on sale May 5, and some are currently available only as part of subscription packages (with individual tickets going on sale later).
