Fans of Broadway musicals are into a feast as smash hit musical, JERSEY BOYS has made its way to Singapore, playing now at the Sands Theater at Marina Bay Sands for a 14 weeks season.

This multi-award winning musical tells the true real-life story of how four poverty-line kids from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi may not sound familiar to people of this generation (I mean they were huge in the 60s), but for generations since the early 60’s to modern day the unique sounds of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are often echoed with responses such as “I know that number!” when familiarity and recognition of the band‟s hit songs such as Sherry, Walk like a Man, Rag Doll, Oh What a Night and Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, kicks in. These and numerous other Four Seasons songs have been covered by many of today’s pop artists, proving the diverse appeal and appreciation of this music as it lives on through the generations.

JERSEY BOYS opened to critical and popular acclaim on Broadway on 6 November 2005 only to break this theatre‟s box office record 30 times! The production has since been seen by over 13 million people across the globe.


JERSEY BOYS is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and is directed by two-time Tony® Award winner Des McAnuff and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo with music direction, vocal arrangements and incidental music by Ron Melrose. The production design team is Klara Zieglerova, Scenic Designer; Jess Goldstein, Costume Designer; Howell Binkley, Lighting Designer and Michael Clark, Projection Designer.

I also had the honor to meet up with the musical’s costume designer backstage as he shared with me the fine details that going into every costumes and the complication choreography that happen backstage, with only 6 dressers to make sure the casts get their quick change in time at every scene. He also talked about the deliberate selection of specific color palette as the show progress through the seasons – such a clever play with the band’s name. Here’s a video clip of my chat with Jess Goldstein, the show’s costume designer . Enjoy!
