A massive Broadway musical is coming to the Liverpool Empire theatre<\/a> in 2027. The original Tony-winning musical sensation Jersey Boys<\/a> returns for its celebratory 20th anniversary tour across the UK and Ireland, arriving in the city for a six night run.<\/p>\n

From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the story of four guys from Jersey who were ordinary, until they sang their very first note. The show features all their hits, including Sherry, Big Girls Don\u2019t Cry, Walk Like A Man, Can\u2019t Take My Eyes Off You, Beggin\u2019, Oh What a Night and more.<\/p>\n

Producer Michael David said: “We are thrilled for Jersey Boys to return to the road across the United Kingdom and Ireland.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.\u201d<\/p>\n
