“We’ve had to make the difficult decision to reschedule the Newcastle premiere season of Jersey Boys.

“This is the second time we have had to postpone a major musical due to COVID-19 (Chess The Musical in 2019).

“However, we are pleased to announce that we have secured new dates in the Civic Theatre and programmed this event for our 2022 Season,” a representative from The Very Popular Company said.

The new season has been rescheduled for an eleven show run from 8 October 2022 until 22 October 2022.

Jersey Boys tells the true-life story of four guys from the wrong side of the tracks, the rise to stardom of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, one of the most successful bands in pop music history.

Jarrod Sansom from Medowie will still be performing his role as Nick Massi, the bass singer from the Four Season for the rescheduled dates, joined by Jayden Sierra (Frankie Valli), Mitchell Cox (Tommy DeVito) and Thomas James (Bob Guadio).

“We’re not quite sure what the future holds, but rest assured we have determination in our bones and some exciting productions waiting in the wings that we will bring to you just as soon as we can.

“For now, thank you for your support and your understanding,” the Very Popular Theatre Company stated.

Tickets can still be purchased for the 2022 season, selling quickly through https://civictheatrenewcastle.com.au/what-s-on/all-shows/jersey-boys-rescheduled.
