Photo Flash: Mayors Richard Daley & Jeffrey Sherwin Celebrate Two Years of JERSEY BOYS
By: Gabrielle Sierra Oct. 30, 2009
More than 80 mayors were on hand for a special reception co-hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley (City of Chicago) and Jeffery T. Sherwin (City of Northlake and Chair, Metropolitan Mayors Caucus). They were able to have a special meet and greet with the Chicago's Four Seasons (Michael Cunio as Tommy DeVito, Michael Ingersoll as Nick Massi, Dominic Scaglione Jr. as Frankie Valli and Shonn Wiley as Bob Gaudio).
After the performance, the Chicago Company of JERSEY BOYS honored Mayor Daley and the City of Chicago with a special performance of "My Kind of Town.
"Directed by two-time Tony Award® - winner Des McAnuff, Jersey Boys won both the 2006 Tony Award® for Best Musical and the 2006 Grammy Award® for Best Musical Recording, and most recently, the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, and continues to break box office records on Broadway and in Chicago. 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.
Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty.
