We're bringing Jersey Boys back to Sunderland Empire
A popular musical is working its way back to Wearside.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Tony-winning Jersey Boys, the hit show is heading out on tour across the UK and Ireland - with a two-week run at Sunderland Empire from Tuesday, May 25 to Saturday, June 5, 2027.
Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday 11 November 2025.
Casting will be announced for the new tour of the musical, which is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.
As fans of the show will know, the musical goes behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, from the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
While their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a different story.
The show features all their hits, including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Beggin’, Oh What a Night and more.
Producer Michael David of The Dodgers said: “We are thrilled for JERSEY BOYS to return to the road across the United Kingdom and Ireland. When the show first opened on Broadway 20 years ago, little did we know the story of these four blue collar kids from the wrong side of the tracks would resonate across the UK.
“We are so grateful to work our way back to you and celebrate 20 years of, as Frankie says, chasing the music, trying to get home.”
Recipient of Broadway’s Tony, London’s Olivier and Australia’s Helpmann Awards for Best New Musical, JERSEY BOYS is the winner of 65 major awards and has been seen by over 30 million people worldwide.
JERSEY BOYS will be working its way back to Sunderland Empire’s stage from Tuesday 25 May – Saturday 5 June 2027. ATG+ pre sale available now. General tickets on sale at 10am on Tuesday 11 November at ATGTickets.com/ Sunderland *
