JERSEY BOYS at The Palazzo Las Vegas Celebrates Opening Night on May 3

LAS VEGAS, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- After a productive and encouraging month of preview performances, JERSEY BOYS, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, will celebrate its Opening Night on Saturday, May 3 at The Palazzo Las Vegas.

The talented cast will be joined by the remaining original Four Seasons, Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio and Tommy DeVito, as the show makes its highly anticipated Las Vegas debut. Expected invited guests also include Joe Pesci, Willie Garson, La Toya Jackson, Siegfried & Roy, John Cleese, Billy Crystal, Michael Urie, Wayne Brady and Rita Rudner.

"We are delighted to open the newest addition of the JERSEY BOYS family in Las Vegas," said JERSEY BOYS producer Michael David. "With a one-of-a-kind cast and a beautiful new theatre in the recently opened Palazzo, it is our fondest hope that JERSEY BOYS now become a fresh, new, happy, tax-paying resident of Las Vegas for a long time to come."

A unique, custom-built theatre houses JERSEY BOYS Las Vegas and is currently the only place on the West Coast to see this runaway hit.

"Las Vegas is a great place for JERSEY BOYS," said Scott Zeiger of BASE Entertainment. "The story and the music fit so well with this town, we are proud to be a part of bringing it here and think it's a natural fit."

Adorned with special period influences and one-of-a-kind memorabilia from The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the JERSEY BOYS Theatre will evoke fond memories of the 1960's era.

"The timeless music and intriguing story of the Four Seasons creates an energy and excitement that spreads throughout The Palazzo after every performance," said Rob Goldstein, president and COO of The Palazzo. "We wanted the centerpiece of entertainment at The Palazzo to be a dynamic experience that engages the audience and leaves them wanting more. JERSEY BOYS is exactly that type of show and we are extremely happy to be celebrating its Opening Night."

JERSEY BOYS, which opened on Broadway to rave reviews on November 6, 2005, continues to be completely sold out and hottest ticket on the Great White Way.

JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.

They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide -- all before they were thirty. The show features such hits as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," "Oh, What a Night," and many more.

JERSEY BOYS is written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
