20th Anniversary Tour

Theatre Review: OH, WHAT A NIGHT! JERSEY BOYS Still Has the Magic 20 Years Later; at TPAC thru Sunday as National Tour continues

September 18, 2026 by Jonathan Pinkerton

There are shows you see once and check off the list. Then there are shows that keep pulling you back, year after year, like some sort of particularly catchy musical siren song. For me, Jersey Boys is definitely the latter. Now onstage at TPAC‘s Jackson Hall thru Sunday, September 20 as the 20th Anniversary National Tour continues, attending the show’s second night in Music City marks the sixth time in 20 years I’ve seen it—and my third time seeing it at Tennessee Performing Arts Center. So, yes, I know when the songs are coming, I know where the laughs are, I know where the story is going…and I still found myself completely caught up in the ride.

That may be the greatest compliment I can give Jersey Boys: after six times, it still works. Officially kicking off just last week in Syracuse, this national tour arrives with an interesting distinction. While the 20th Anniversary Tour is a non-Equity production, the creative forces behind the original phenomenon remain very much in charge. Des McAnuff, the show’s original director, is back at the helm, while Sergio Trujillo, whose original choreography helped define the production, returns with his original choreography. I mention the non-equity status because a non-equity tour can, occasionally, be scaled-down considerably from a show’s Broadway run. Perhaps, because this tour has been so hands-on with the full cooperation of the original creative forces, this incarnation doesn’t feel like any expenses were spared, no corners were cut and no holds barred for this landmark anniversary tour. For the show’s two and a half hour runtime, I’m confident that the entire audience at TPAC would tell the cast our eyes and ears adored them!

This isn’t just another jukebox musical. This is a show with some serious hardware in its trophy case: the Tony Award for Best Musical, the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Twenty years after its Broadway debut, it doesn’t take long to see why.

The genius of Jersey Boys has always been its storytelling structure. The show cheekily divides itself into Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, giving a knowing wink to the name of the group while providing four distinct chapters in the lives of The Four Seasons.

Spring gives us the genesis—the young men, the dreams and the unlikely beginnings. Summer is the rocket ride, as the group discovers fame, fortune and what happens when those little songs they’ve been working on suddenly become enormous hits. Fall brings the cracks in the foundation: personal conflicts, financial problems, uncertainty and the realization that success can be every bit as complicated as failure. Then comes Winter, with its reflection, loss and the ultimate accolade: The Four Seasons’ 1990 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not bad for some kids from Jersey.

The cleverness of that four-season structure isn’t merely branding. It gives the show a natural dramatic progression while providing one of those delightful little theatrical winks that Jersey Boys is so good at delivering.

Of course, you can’t talk about Jersey Boys without talking about the music. And in the vernacular of the Jersey Boys, holy f’in jukebox, is there a lot of it. The production packs more than 30 songs, and this cast nails the vocal demands with the kind of precision that makes The Four Seasons’ famously distinctive sound seem effortless.

The Four Seasons’ musical catalog is so deep—they had 40 songs land on the Billboard Top 40—that there simply isn’t enough room in one musical to accommodate all those hits. The Playbill acknowledges that problem in particularly delightful fashion, with a footnote titled “The Ones That Got Away,” recognizing more than a dozen additional Four Seasons and Frankie Valli bangers that didn’t make the final cut.

But it’s not simply the quantity of the songs that makes this production sing. It’s the quality of the vocals. Audiences arrive knowing exactly how these songs are supposed to sound, from Valli’s unmistakable falsetto to those intricate Four Seasons harmonies.

This cast understands that assignment.

As Frankie Valli, Coby Oram delivers the vocal precision you’d expect from a performer stepping into one of pop music’s most distinctive voices, but there’s also a strong emotional dimension beneath the falsetto. Valli isn’t simply the guy who sings the really high notes; we’re watching a young man grow into the person who ultimately has to carry the group forward. Oram is equally adept at hitting the high notes as he is knocking it out of the park during the show’s more tense relationship moments whether exploring his fractured family dynamic or the never-ending allegiance to his fellow hitmakers.

Peyton Schoenhofer brings youthful energy and confidence to Bob Gaudio, the songwriter whose creative contributions helped fuel the group’s remarkable run. His Gaudio possesses just the right combination of ambition, talent and youthful uncertainty. Schoenhofer exemplifies a great balance of Gaudio’s seemingly more sheltered upbringing–compared to the a couple of the other boys, who racked up police records before platinum ones–with an unexpected business savvy that would be a key element in his relationship with Valli.

Harry Sperduto makes Tommy DeVito an entertainingly combustible force, bringing plenty of swagger and humor to a character whose ambitions ultimately come with a steep price. Tommy can be charming, funny, infuriating and reckless—and Sperduto keeps all of those qualities in play without reducing DeVito to a cartoon gangster. You know he’s good when, time after time of screwing over his bandmates, the audience still feels for him and cheers both his misdeeds and his achievements.

Owen McCredie gives Nick Massi the quietest member of the quartet a genuine presence, allowing us to understand the man beneath that reserved exterior. There’s a dry wit and simmering frustration beneath Nick’s reserved exterior, and McCreedie lets those qualities emerge naturally, making Nick’s eventual departure from the group on of the evening’s more effective moments. McCredie doesn’t let get lost amid all those bigger personalities, he crafts a careful, thoughtful presence. While Valli’s falsetto might have made him the bigger star, McCredie’s booming bass voice as Massi is swoon worthy.

Together, the four are a cohesive, convincing unit—and that’s crucial. The Four Seasons weren’t four soloists who happened to stand next to each other. Their magic was in the blend. This cast gets it.

While the primary focus is of course on the aforementioned quartet, one of the strengths of this production is that Jersey Boys doesn’t treat its four principals as the only people worth watching. Andrew Sattler makes an especially memorable impression as Bob Crewe, bringing a larger-than-life theatricality to the eccentric producer and lyricist who becomes such an important part of the group’s story.

Nicholas Dion Reese gets the evening off to an energetic start with an updated, internationally flavored take on “Ces soirées-là,” better known stateside as “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night!),” The Four Seasons’ final No. 1 hit from 1975. It’s an attention-grabbing opening that immediately announces that this isn’t going to be a sleepy trip through an oldies playlist.

Among the female members of the ensemble, Eliza Levy makes an impression as Mary Delgado and others, helping bring the women surrounding these four men into sharper focus rather than allowing them to become mere scenery in the boys’ story. While she’s initially written as a stereotypical Jersey girl, Delgado doesn’t rest on that, bringing dimension to what could easily be a throw-away role. Her vocals on the late Act 1 tune “My Eyes Adored You” in an adroit call and response opposite Oram’s Frankie, reveal a welcomed depth to not only her portrayal, but the classic song itself.

Another highlight in the supporting cast comes in Sarah Coleman‘s turn as Francine Valli particularly as the story begins exploring the one of the show’s more somber elements revealing the personal costs of Frankie Valli’s extraordinary career. It’s a relatively small role with only a couple of minutes on stage, but it’s one of the show’s most impactful. Coleman, like many of the supporting players appears throughout in a multitude of other roles, but it’s her brief time on stage as Valli’s daughter that stays with the audience.

And then there’s Joe Pesci. Yes, THAT Joe Pesci, as the script cheekily reminds us. The real Pesci was friends with the young Four Seasons, and his connection to the group is one of those almost-too-good-to-be-true details from their early history. Here, the role gets an especially fun Nashville twist thanks to Grant Weathington, a 2025 Belmont University graduate. For those in the TPAC audience who know that little bit of local trivia, it’s one more reason to enjoy the character when he pops up.

Speaking of Nashville, the Music City connection doesn’t stop there. One of the original members and creative forces behind The Four Seasons, Bob Gaudio, has been a Nashville resident since the 1990s. So when the show reaches its later “where are they now?” passage and mentions that Gaudio now spends his days on his boat in Nashville, the response from the TPAC audience was noticeably more enthusiastic than your average biographical footnote. There was definitely a little “That’s OUR Bob!” energy in the room. It’s a small moment, but it’s one of those details that makes seeing a touring production in its proper local context so much fun.

The remarkable thing about Jersey Boys after two decades (six decades if you count The Four Seasons’ real-life history) isn’t simply that the songs remain popular. It’s that the story still works. The musical understands that success stories are rarely as simple as the finished record. Behind every No. 1 hit are relationships, egos, debts, bad decisions, sacrifices, arguments and people trying to figure out what comes next.

That’s what keeps Jersey Boys from becoming nothing more than a jukebox with a plot. The music may be the sugar, but the complicated relationships are the substance. And the 20th Anniversary Tour gives audiences the best of both worlds: a production rooted in the staging that originally made the musical a Tony-, Olivier- and Grammy-winning phenomenon, now performed by a fresh cast with its own chemistry and energy.

Twenty years after Jersey Boys first took Broadway by storm, this new generation of Four Seasons proves that the songs still soar, the story still resonates and there are apparently still plenty of audiences willing to sing along. After six trips alongside The Four Seasons myself, I’m apparently still not ready to say goodbye. And really…why would I? Four seasons. More than 30 songs. Forty Top 40 hits. Twenty years. as one of modern theatre’s most beloved musical.Oh, what a night!

Four Seasons, 20 Years & 20 Questions: Rapid Fire 20Q with ‘Jersey Boys’ 20th Anniversary National Tour Stars Coby Oram, Peyton Schoenhofer, Harry Sperduto & Owen McCredie

September 15, 2026 by Jonathan Pinkerton

Twenty Years, countless standing ovations and more than a few earworm-inducing harmonies later, Jersey Boys, the Broadway sensation celebrating the music, friendships and struggles of The Four Seasons is making it’s way back across the country with the 20th Anniversary National Tour. Having kicked of the 20th Anniversary Tour just last week in Syracuse, New York, the tour is making it’s way back to Music City. Just days before their return to Nashville’s Tennessee Performing Arts Center for their September 16-20 Music City run, JHPEntertainment caught up with the tour’s leading men. Jersey Boys‘ Coby Oram (Frankie Valli), Peyton Schoenhofer (Bob Gaudio), Harry Sperduto (Tommy DeVito) and Owen McCredie (Nick Massi) answered 20 questions about stepping into those iconic spit-shined shoes and finely tailored suits, finding the chemistry behind one of pop music’s legendary groups, and keeping fans of the 20-year-old Broadway phenom shouting “Oh, What a Night”, night after night.

RAPID FIRE 20Q WITH THE CAST OF JERSEY BOYS 20TH ANNIVERSARY NATIONAL TOUR

RAPID FIRE WITH COBY ORAM STARRING AS FRANKIE VALLI IN JERSEY BOYS

JHPENTERTAINMENT: This is your eighth Jersey Boys contract, and you first came into the show as a swing aboard Norwegian Bliss before ultimately stepping into the role of Frankie Valli on this 20th Anniversary National Tour. What keeps you working your way back?

COBY ORAM: Jersey Boys covers Frankie’s entire professional career from the young age of 16 to about 60 years old. With so much life to live on stage, it’s honestly hard to get bored of it. It’s also challenging enough there’s still plenty to improve, plenty to learn, and plenty to discover.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Frankie’s journey takes him from a young singer with an unmistakable falsetto to the frontman of one of the biggest musical groups in the world. What part of that evolution has become more fascinating to you as you’ve continued to play him?

COBY ORAM: I think the most fascinating part of Frankie’s story is watching him go from one of the Four Seasons to a solo artist. The part I find interesting is that Frankie had to be convinced it would work, and it wasn’t until after “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” succeeded that he believed it.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You’ve played Frankie alternating the role alongside your identical twin brother, Chris Oram—on both the Bliss and again last year at a dinner theatre in Kansas City. If this tour ever required you to take a day off, how tempting would it be to pull a classic The Parent Trap switcheroo and send your twin onstage in your place?

COBY ORAM: The Parent Trap idea has tempted me more than a few times, but it would be quite the travel for Chris to make it to me wherever I am to perform the one night. Fortunately we do have a Frankie Alternate, Andrew Martin Maguire, who travels with us and also swings the show, and he has already covered for me brilliantly on opening night when I had a mild vocal strain to rest from.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Frankie’s voice is obviously one of the most recognizable elements of The Four Seasons’ sound. What has been the biggest challenge—and the most rewarding part—of recreating that unmistakable sound?

COBY ORAM: The biggest challenge in singing Frankie stuff is actually all the care I have to take when I’m not on stage. My associate director Danny Austin says “You have to be monk,” and he’s only half-kidding. I don’t drink with the cast after a show, I don’t go to the club and scream and shout, and I have to be careful how much of my voice I use in my day-to-day life so I still have enough left in the tank for the performance. The most rewarding part is actually doing it, and witnessing the impact it has on audiences. The hit songs are so iconic, they are part of the soundscape of pop culture even today, and when people get to hear them contextualized by the play, it means so much to them I can hear it and see it in them from up on stage.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: After eight trips through Jersey Boys, you’ve undoubtedly experienced countless performances of the show. Is there a particular moment in the current production—whether it’s a song, a scene or even something happening between the Four Seasons—that still gives you that little “Wow, this is why I love this show” feeling?

COBY ORAM: The moment in this production that really gets me is Bob Gaudio’s introduction to the group. Ron Melrose’s brilliant arrangement of this show saves the traditional “Four Seasons” harmonies and sounds specifically for this scene, opting in earlier musical numbers to use other inspirations for the time period that previous iterations of the band (Varietones, Four Lovers, etc.) might have used. The audience subliminally gets to land at the same conclusion at the same time as us on stage – this is the sound we are after.

RAPID FIRE WITH PEYTON SCHOENHOFER STARRING AS BOB GAUDIO IN JERSEY BOYS

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Bob Gaudio is not only one of the architects of The Four Seasons’ sound, he’s responsible for writing so many of the songs audiences have come to associate with the group. As an actor, how do you approach portraying the man behind those songs while still allowing us to see the young man who is discovering his voice as a songwriter?

PEYTON SCHOENHOFER: I’ve had a lot of help throughout this process from Des McAnuff, Danny Austin, and people who have known Bob for a long time and can help me understand his characteristics. But when it comes to the young man discovering his voice, I can really relate to that as a fellow artist. When we’re younger, there’s so much discovery in finding your voice, regardless of what medium you’re creating in. I try to tap into that feeling from my own experience, those moments when you’re just so excited to be creating and you start to see doors opening for you. I think bringing that sense of wonder and discovery to Bob is a big part of how I approach him.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You’re making your national tour debut with Jersey Boys, which means you’re experiencing the show—and the country—one city at a time. What has surprised you most about taking Bob Gaudio on the road?

PEYTON SCHOENHOFER: I think what’s surprised me most is how receptive each audience is. You know, obviously, it’s called Jersey Boys, and of course, there’s going to be deeper roots for people from Jersey, but being able to take this show anywhere and see people connect with the music, the story, the characters, it’s incredible. It’s such a specific group of guys and a very specific story, but it’s been really fun to see audiences in all these different cities react in similar ways, to find something in the show that they can connect with.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Here in Nashville, there’s an especially interesting layer to playing Bob: the real Bob Gaudio lives right here in Music City and will likely have an opportunity to see the show during your Nashville engagement. What goes through your mind knowing that the man whose life you’re portraying may actually be sitting in the audience watching your performance?

PEYTON SCHOENHOFER: Besides being terrifying, it’s extremely exciting! Getting to play the role I’ve portrayed for years, for the man himself, means the world to me. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity he has provided us actors to continue telling this story through multiple generations. And to be able to bring this music that feels timeless to Nashville, to Music City, couldn’t be better!

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You’ve gone from performing in the wildly irreverent Titanique as a member of that show’s Chicago company to stepping into a story rooted in the real lives and music of The Four Seasons. What has that change in tone and style been like for you as a performer?

PEYTON SCHOENHOFER:What do you mean? They’re basically the same show….. All jokes aside, it’s been amazing to experience the two sides of theater I enjoy most. Titanique is a very self-aware comedy that lets me play with the audience, and lean into my improv background. While Jersey Boys is the other side of that coin. It’s extremely grounded and very real. And those are the two types of theater I love most. So the fact I’ve been able to experience both is truly a blessing!

JHPENTERTAINMENT: There’s such a distinctive chemistry among the four men who become The Four Seasons, and Bob’s relationship with Frankie is at the heart of much of that story. What have you and Coby discovered together that has helped make that partnership feel authentic onstage?

PEYTON SCHOENHOFER: To be honest, we’ve only known each other for about a month and a half, so we’re still making discoveries and getting to know each other as the tour goes on. But that’s what makes it exciting! We’ve both played these roles before, but never together, so we each came in with our own interpretations and ideas of what a Bob or a Frankie might be. It’s been really fun to find those differences, learn each other’s interpretations, and bring more and more to the relationship both on and off stage. It also helps that Coby is an incredible performer and individual, so it makes my job really easy!

RAPID FIRE WITH HARRY SPERDUTO STARRING AS TOMMY DeVITO IN JERSEY BOYS

JHPENTERTAINMENT: This is your national tour debut, and you’re making it in a show as iconic as Jersey Boys. What has the reality of that milestone felt like now that you’re actually out there performing Tommy DeVito for audiences across the country?

HARRY SPERDUTO: It has been a dream come true, and then some. I have wanted to be in this show and perform at this level of theatre for as long as I can remember. Getting to step into Tommy’s shoes in the remounted original production of Jersey Boys every night is even more perfect than I could’ve planned for my national tour debut. I thank God every day for this opportunity.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: While this is your first national tour, it’s not your first time in Jersey Boys. That honor happened two years ago when you first played Tommy DeVito in Clear Space Theatre Company’s 2024 summer-stock production of Jersey Boys in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. What have you learned about Tommy—and how has your portrayal of him changed—since that first production

HARRY SPERDUTO: I am a lot more grounded and knowledgeable this time around. I’ve created a multifaceted version of my character through my deeper understanding of Tommy. That is the glory of getting the chance to work with the original creative team on this piece. The original director Des McAnuff and Associate Danny Austin gave me so much great direction and information about this story, their over 20 year process with the piece, and real life encounters with the original Four Seasons, specifically Tommy DeVito. That first hand knowledge is something I could only get from these directors and it has helped me immensely in my portrayal, especially in bringing the truth of Tommy’s life into my work.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: How do you keep the audience connected to Tommy when his ambition and personality can make him such a difficult guy to root for?

HARRY SPERDUTO: Tommy struggled with his addictions, and I think there is a certain feeling of sympathy seeing him going through the hardships that he did. Playing my objectives every night and leaning into that area creates this level of emotion that I can pull out of people. Making my portrayal of Tommy as human as possible is the best thing you can do to make an audience connect with you. He did what he did because he truly felt he was making the right choices for himself and for the group, despite how rough he could be to the people around him. I hope audiences can leave the theater remembering and respecting all of the things he accomplished in his lifetime.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: The Four Seasons became known for not only their glorious lamppost harmonies, but also their syncopated moves and classic attire. While these elements—and more—make up the full package that is Jersey Boys, do you have a personal favorite element?

HARRY SPERDUTO: The element of breaking the fourth wall, which, in simpler terms means getting to speak directly to the audience in many of my lines. As a performer, I love getting to do this in Jersey Boys because I can look around and connect with every audience member throughout the show and make them feel like they’re in our show too. It is what makes theatre live, fresh, and exciting every night. It is very fulfilling to me as a performer.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Tommy has some of the show’s biggest personality moments, but Jersey Boys ultimately asks us to watch four very different men become a family—and then watch that family fracture. What is the most important thing you want audiences to understand about Tommy by the time he walks away from The Four Seasons?

HARRY SPERDUTO: Tommy strived for greatness in his own way. If you got out of the neighborhood in his time, that alone was the highest accomplishment. He started a Hall of Fame rock & roll group and he took Frankie Valli off the streets, which turned him into the icon he now is today. This is undeniable. He might’ve not cared about being a star in the long run, but he took pride in giving back, especially to his community in North Jersey. He cared so much about where he came from, which is right where their whole story begins.

RAPID FIRE WITH OWEN McCREDIE STARRING AS NICK MASSI IN JERSEY BOYS

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You first portrayed Nick Massi aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines, and now you’re bringing him to audiences throughout North America. How has your perception of Nick—and your performance of him—evolved between that first experience and this 20th Anniversary National Tour?

OWEN McCREDIE: Nick Massi has always been a character with whom I’ve felt an emotional resonance. He’s a guarded, seemingly aloof guy who has a very tumultuous inner life. What I’ve appreciated most about Nick during this process that perhaps I hadn’t before, is how of all the Four Seasons, he is the one to really admit his mistakes and own up to his shortcomings. I like to think that I’m a little wiser than I was at age 22. I’m much more cognisantof the fact that “success” is accompanied by levels of personal sacrifice. I’ve given up a lot of family time to tour and live in another country. I hope that an awareness of these things translates into a more emotionally honest and grounded performance.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Nick is the quiet one of the four, often literally standing in the background while the other personalities dominate the room. How do you make sure there’s a fully realized Nick Massi underneath that reserved exterior?

OWEN McCREDIE: I’m trying always to interact with the scene in whatever way I can. Which is not to say that I’m trying to steal attention from the actual scene. But by making creative decisions about what Nick values, what’s driving him and how he’s feeling about the other characters at that particular moment, I find opportunities to be affected by things within the scene. Nick is very meticulous, perhaps to the point of OCD. As Bob Gaudio says, “he irons his shirts twice”. That part of his behaviouris a lot of fun to play with as an actor, particularly in those moments when I’m not at the forefront of a scene.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You were born and raised in Australia and studied theatre at Melbourne’s Victorian College of the Arts, so Nick’s Newark accent is a pretty significant vocal departure from your own. Did you work with a dialect coach during rehearsals to perfect that sound, and what was the biggest challenge in making it feel natural?

OWEN McCREDIE: Yes, we were incredibly fortunate to work with Charley Layton, who I’d done some dialect coaching with for Norwegian as well. He was able to tell me when I was beginning to stray into Australian vowel sounds, and when I could be committing further to the sounds of a North Jersey accent. I’ve found this time that I’ve been fighting the impulse to add in some of the characteristics of what you’d consider a General American accent — the rhotic R, for instance. I think that my fear as an actor who’s trying to approach this dialect with respect and authenticity, is that I go too far into that cartoonish “New Joisey” accent. In trying to avoid that perhaps I’m making Nick sound too much like a New Jerseyan from 2026. All that to say, it’s forever a work in progress, and I’m sure the audiences of New Brunswick will keep me honest!

JHPENTERTAINMENT: You and Coby actually have something pretty unique in common: you both began your Jersey Boys journeys on the high seas. Have you two bonded over that shared experience, and does it give you a different perspective on the journey that brought you both to this 20th Anniversary National Tour?

OWEN McCREDIE: Oh yeah, Coby and I have know each other for a long time now. 6 months together aboard a floating vessel is always a unique bonding experience. We both started as swings for the Norwegian Cruise Lines production, so I think there’s a real sense of pride that we’re both standing up front together now, especially for something as momentous as the 20th anniversary tour. A fun fact — I first knew him in the Barry Belson track, as he was our Male Swing and had to cover that track for the first couple of weeks of rehearsals. For those who didn’t get to see it, you missed a real treat.

JHPENTERTAINMENT: Twenty years after Jersey Boys first arrived on Broadway, what do you hope audiences take away with them after seeing this 20th Anniversary National Tour—and what do you think makes the story and music of The Four Seasons continue to resonate with audiences today?

OWEN McCREDIE: This story is proof that generational greatness can come from working class people. Like so many artists from that time, The Four Seasons were self-taught guys who rose to the top through grit, determination and a love of music. I hope that audiences who were lucky enough to grow up with their songs on the charts get a good dose of nostalgia, and that newcomers to the show walk away with an appreciation for why it’s been so successful for so long.

Four guys. Four very different personalities. One legendary sound—and a story that still knows how to make audiences laugh, cheer and, of course, sing along. As Jersey Boys celebrates its 20th anniversary, this latest generation of talented entertainers stepping into the roles of The Four Seasons is proving that Frankie, Bob, Tommy and Nick as played by Coby, Peyton, Harry and Owen still have plenty to say—and plenty of songs left to sing.
