CHICAGO–The Tony Award-winning musical “Jersey Boys” first opened in Chicago in 2007. At the time it featured a touring cast from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Now, the show is back in the city but this time around it boasts a terrific hometown cast that makes the show even better than before.

Written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, this revival of the pop-rock musical is spectacular.
