Back by popular demand as a special holiday attraction, the hit musical, Jersey Boys, made its return to the Fisher Theatre this week.
The show will be running through January 6 and tickets are on sale at all Ticketmaster locations and online at the Fisher Theatre box office.
The musical's 2009 premiere engagement in Detroit was an overwhelming success and played to 99 percent capacity for over 5 record breaking weeks.
Worldwide the show has been seen by over 15 million people.
Jersey Boys is written by Academy-Award winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
The show tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and how a group of boys from New Jersey, who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, became one of America's biggest pop music sensations, selling 175 million records worldwide before any of them turned thirty.
The group's music has reached multiple generations and was even featured on the hit HBO drama, The Sopranos and the musical features many of their Top 40 hits including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man".
The Jersey Boys musical showcases the highs and lows of musical success and the internal friction that bands throughout history have endured with each member telling their story from their unique perspective.
The guys spend all their time yearning and searching for fame but once they achieve it, it all falls apart, tearing apart their friendships, family and their music.
In this run of the hit musical, Nick Cosgrove takes on the role of Frankie Valli.
Joining Cosgrove as the three members of the Four Seasons are John Gardiner as Tommy DeVito, Miles Jacoby as Bob Gaudio and Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi.
The foursome does a fantastic job of portraying the eccentricities of their characters and their voices join together in perfect harmony.
By the time the show's big climax rushes in, the audience feels they have gone on the same journey with the characters and can't help but sing and clap along as the "band" takes its final bows.
