After a successful 2008 run, Jersey Boys returns to Denver tonight, bringing the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to the Buell Theatre stage. Beyond the traditional appeal of a big-stage production, Jersey Boys has twenty chart-topping hits — including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Oh What a Night” — by the pop-music quartet, many of which had been almost forgotten when the show debuted in 2005. Since then, it has been seen — and heard — by more than 13 million people around the world and collected both Emmy and Tony awards.

Jersey Boys runs tonight through August 11 at the Buell, in the Denver Performing Arts Complex; ticket prices range from $20 to $110. For more information, go to www.denvercenter.org or call 303-893-4100.
Tuesdays-Sundays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 2 p.m.; Thu., Aug. 9, 2 p.m. Starts: July 17. Continues through Aug. 11, 2012
