Jersey Boys,
one of the most expected and long waited musicals in Sin City
is opening at the Palazzo Hotel and Casino. Jersey Boys first opened in Broadway
in 2005 and it continues to be one of the top ten shows in the U.S. The
musical show has won four Tony Awards in 2006 including Best Musical and Art Direction
and the Grammy Award for Best Show Recording. Jersey Boys tell the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, a group of working class
boys from the streets of Newark
who became one of the biggest pop music icons of all time.
"After two wonderful
years on Broadway, in Chicago, San
Francisco, around the country and most recently in London,
we are delighted to open a brand new company in Las Vegas. We have every hope to make the new
theater in the recently opened Palazzo a Jersey Boys home for a long time to
come. Las Vegas
is part of The Four Seasons history and we are excited to bring our version of
that true story to such a singular market," said the producer Michael
David.
The theater was specially
decorated with 50’s memorabilia to evoke the golden age of Rock and Roll, a custom-built
theatre was designed for Jersey Boys Las Vegas and is at this time it is the
only location on the West Coast running the show. The show will feature Erich
Bergen as Bob Gaudio, Rick Faugno as Frankie Valli, Jeremy Kushnier as Tommy
DeVito and Jeff Leibow as Nick Massi and includes hits such as
"Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes
Off of You," "Oh, What a Night," and many more. Besides, the Las Vegas musical production
will count with the whole original Broadway team, including director Des
McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo
“Jersey Boys is an
internationally-celebrated show appealing to a wide range of audiences and is a
perfect complement to Las Vegas
and The Palazzo. Jersey Boys will be among great company with our already
existing lineup of world-class entertainment at our sister property, The
Venetian hotel and casino, including Phantom -- The Las Vegas Spectacular, Blue Man Group and
Wayne Brady." said Rob Goldstein, president and chief operating officer of
The Palazzo.
