A new production of the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys, about the musical group Four Seasons, will move into the brand-new Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in early 2008.

As on Broadway, the show will be directed by Des McAnuff, with choreography by Sergio Trujillo. The show’s authors, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, along with the Four Seasons, will be involved in the production. No casting has been announced.

The Palazzo is currently being built and will be connected to the Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. The $1.8 billion complex will feature more than 3,000 all-suite rooms, a shopping area of approximately 60 stores highlighted by Barneys New York, and 14 new restaurants.
