Jersey Boys aren’t a group or a band, but a Broadway musical that chronicles the story of
the Four Seasons, the group that gave the world pop hits like “Rag Doll,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Dawn,” “Silence Is Golden,” “Walk Like a Man,” and so many others. A soundtrack album of the musical, which featured reproductions of
Four Seasons hits sung by cast members, was released in 2005, and was produced by
Bob Gaudio, a founding member of the original group and its principal songwriter, although he was the only member of
the Four Seasons to be directly involved in the show or the soundtrack.
Gaudio also produced 2011’s
Seasons Greetings: A Jersey Boys Christmas, which featured various Jersey Boys cast members from around the world singing Christmas classics in
the Four Seasons' vocal style. ~ Steve Leggett
