JERSEY BOYS
CROWN THEATRE
7:30 p.m
Jersey Boys is the behind-the-music story
of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
They were just four guys from Jersey until
they sang their first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard … and the
radio couldn't get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off
stage, it was a very different story – a story that has made them an international
sensation all over again. The show features all their hits, including
"Sherry," "Big
Girls Don't Cry,"
"Oh What A Night," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off
You,"
"Beggin'," and "Working My Way Back To You." Tickets begin at $40.00
and are available for purchase online at www.CapeFearTix.com, the Crown Com-
plex Box Office, and the Leisure Travel Services located on Fort Bragg.
