New dates have been announced for the highly successful UK and Ireland tour of the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning musical Jersey Boys, which is currently on the road and running simultaneously with the smash-hit West End production, playing to packed houses at the newly refurbished Trafalgar Theatre.

The new dates include returning venues such as Edinburgh Playhouse, Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton and Wales Millennium Centre plus a venue the show has never played: Swansea Arena.

Casting for the second leg of the tour will be announced.

The current cast includes previous tour alumni Michael Pickering and Lewis Griffiths returning as Frankie Valli and Nick Massi respectively, with Blair Gibson as Bob Gaudio and Dalton Wood as Tommy DeVito. Luke Suri plays Frankie Valli at certain performances.

Completing the cast are Dougie Carter (Hank Majewski), Ryan Carter-Wilson (Swing), Emma Crossley (Mary Delgado), Jordan James (Gyp DeCarlo), Norton James (Norm Waxman), Michael Levi (Bob Crewe), Tom O’Brien (Swing), Nathan Routledge (Swing), George Salmon (Joe Pesci), Ellie Seaton (Lorraine), Daisy Steere (Francine), Amy West (Swing), and Damien Winchester (Barry Belson). 

Jersey Boys is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe.

The UK and Ireland tour is staged by the entire original Broadway creative team, led by the Tony Award-winning team of director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo, with set design by Klara Zieglerova, costumes by Jess Goldstein, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Steve Canyon Kennedy and projections by Michael Clark.  The orchestrations are by Steve Orich and the music supervision and vocal arrangements by Ron Melrose.
