Jersey Boys Returns to Walton Arts Center

The Tony®, Grammy® and Olivier Award-winning hit musical Jersey Boys, the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, kicks off the 2018-19 P&G Broadway Series at Walton Arts Center Oct. 5-7 for a limited five-show engagement. Tickets start at $38.

Walton Arts Center will host a Craft Cocktail Class at 6 p.m. on Saturday that can be an add-on experience to either performance that day. Led by Steven Idlet, master mixologist from Maxine's Tap Room, patrons will learn how to mix two classic craft cocktails from the 1960s.

Tickets for the class are $30 and include a history of the cocktails, tips and tricks on how to make them, light appetizers and two cocktails that you will mix yourself. The class will end in plenty of time for patrons to make the 8 pm curtain of Jersey Boys. You must be 21 or older to participate in this class.

Jersey Boys has been seen by more than 25 million people worldwide.

The show features all the hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What A Night,” “Walk Like A Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and “Working My Way Back To You.”
