The band are bringing their World Tour to the Open Air Theatre
Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are bringing their World Tour to Scarborough Open Air Theatre next summer.
The icons behind such timeless classics Walk Like A Man, Sherry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Rag Doll, Oh, What A Night and Big Girls Don’t Cry headline the Yorkshire coast venue on Saturday 25th June 2022.
Tickets go on sale at 9am this Friday (24th September) from scarboroughopenairtheatre.com
Scarborough OAT venue programmer Peter Taylor said:
“The name ‘legend’ is often over-used but in Frankie Valli we have a true music icon. Frankie and The Four Seasons are behind some of the best-known songs of all time and we are absolutely honoured to be welcoming them here to Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
“Their stage shows are loved the world over and with Jersey Boys continuing to be a global smash hit, bringing the real thing here to the Yorkshire coast in 2022 is just fantastic.”
Frankie Valli has influenced many other great recording artists which was acknowledged in the dozens of tributes collected for Jersey Beat, the recently released Four Seasons boxed set.
Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb said: “Frankie Valli to me has become one of the hallmark voices of our generation. From the deepest emotions of his real voice to the power of his falsetto, he created a style that we all still strive to emulate.”
Billy Joel added: “I wrote ‘Uptown Girl’ as the flip side to the story of ‘Rag Doll.’ I always loved that record.”
And The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson: “In the early ’60s the Four Seasons were my favourite group. I thought they were fantastic. The voice blend was fantastic. The competition helped me to get cracking. It inspired me, because they made good music.”
