Classic tale comes to life

From Nov 9 to Jan 13, the Jersey Boys, a hit musical, will tour China visiting Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing

"It's a classic American story. It's rags to riches, and back to rags." American screenwriter and director Marshall Brickman said this about four young men from New Jersey, who rose from obscurity and troubled early lives to become an internationally celebrated group known as Four Seasons.

Four Seasons, the American poprock group, which achieved success in the 1960s for its hits, including Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Rag Doll, and Can't Take My Eyes Off, comprised Frankie Valli, the pop singer, famed for his falsetto; keyboardist and vocalist Bob Gaudio; guitarist and vocalist Tommy DeVito and bassist and bass vocalist Nick Massi.
