‘Jersey Boys’ closes Timber Lake Playhouse series

MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse closes its Summer Subscription Series with “Jersey Boys” from Aug. 17-27.

Follow the story of four guys bound by one dream, who worked their way from the streets of New Jersey to the heights of stardom. “Jersey Boys” takes audiences on an exhilarating journey with the electrifying performances of the golden greats that took these hometown boys from Jersey all the way to the top of the charts: “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Dawn,” “My Eyes Adored You,” and many more.

“We’ve looked forward to producing ‘Jersey Boys’ at TLP for many years,” said TLP Executive Director Dan Danielowski. “I think our audiences will love the music and the story about these rough New Jersey boys.”

Jacob Anderson plays the charming bad-boy Tommy DeVito, the lead guitar player of The Four Seasons, who serves as the show’s primary narrator and founding member of the band.
