Jersey Boys

Jersey Boys is not recommended for children under the age of 12 due to strong "profane, authentic Jersey" language. The show also involves smoking, strobe lights, gun shots and has a 2 hour and 35 minute running time (including a 15-minute intermission). We do encourage parents to use these note as deciding factors for the enjoyment of the performance for themselves, their children and other patrons.
