Farewell to the boys!

The original Grammy, Tony and Olivier award-winning smash-hit musical, Jersey Boys, will close at the Trafalgar Theatre on 4 January 2024 after three hugely successful years in London’s West End. This musical extravaganza goes behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the multi award-winning, true-life phenomenon.

Jersey Boys re-opened the refurbished Trafalgar Theatre in July 2021, and led the way as one of the first theatre shows to be staged after Covid restrictions were lifted. 

Howard Panter, producer for Trafalgar Theatre Productions, said: “It’s been 18 years since the first inception of Jersey Boys, with over 30 million people having seen the musical worldwide and almost 300 actors having donned the famous red jacket. It has been magnificent to see London audiences truly embrace the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons over the last three years, with packed houses and standing ovations every night. Fans of the musical can enjoy extra performances over the festive period, and I’m incredibly proud of our talented West End cast who will lead the show into its final performances at the Trafalgar Theatre.”

Jamaica Love

Krik Krak and The Beck Theatre present Jamaica Love, a musical homage to Jamaican culture and the Windrush legacy.

Following sold-out shows at its premiere, Jamaica Love returns with its musical celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Windrush. From West London to the West End, for one unforgettable night (28 November), the Trafalgar Theatre stage will host this extraordinary show.

Jamaica Love is an electrifying musical drama that weaves a compelling narrative through song, poetry, and drama, paying tribute to Jamaica’s vibrant history and music. This remarkable stage production is a fusion of dramatic talents that delves into the intricate tapestry of history between Britain and Jamaica, celebrating the Caribbean people and their profound influence on Britain’s diverse society. The production is written and directed by the acclaimed author and speaker Mervyn Roye Weir. 

Steve Sargeant, Theatre Director at The Beck said “We’re delighted to work with Krik Krak on this exciting project that places Jamaican culture centre stage. The Windrush Generation played a transformative role in the UK after the Second World War, becoming a critical part of the UK’s cultural mosaic. It’s our privilege to present this incredible show not just in Hayes but also in the heart of London’s Theatreland, where this story deserves its rightful place of celebration.”
