Apparently Jersey Boys is going into Prince Edwards early 2008....bye bye Mary Poppins!

What's Jersey Boys about?

[Janki]

It takes you behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
It's rags-to-rock-to-riches tale of four blue-collar kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. Featuring such hits as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can Take My Eyes Off You, "Oh, What a Night" and more.

Is MP doing so badly that they need to close it? This is my current west end favourite, it would be a shame to see it go. however, Jersey Boys sounds fun.

Once again though, if this is true, it makes way for yet another jukebox musical. With all these and the film adaptations (yes i know MP is one of them!!!) there seems little point in writing an original score these days.

I love Mary Poppins, and hate to see it go...what about Jersey Boys moving into New London, surely that would work...

i saw it in ny last year, as my partner wanted to see it, and thought it would be another dreadful jukebox musical - it is not as such as it is a biomusical - but it works brilliantly, and i loved it. they need to get john lloyd young to repeat his tony winning performance as frankie valli - he was totally mesmarising!

I can't wait for Jersey Boys to come to the West End. John Lloyd Young has not been asked to play Frankie Valli in London, but hopefully he will be!
