Jersey Boys stars John Lloyd Young, Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard, and J. Robert Spencer have all renewed their contracts, which expired on October 1. No details are available on how long they will remain with the show, which tells the story of the singing group The Four Seasons.

Young, whose performance as Frankie Valli won him the 2006 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical, is currently on a two-week vacation and will return to the production on October 16. Hoff won a Tony for his portrayal of Tommy DeVito. Reichard plays Bob Gaudio and Spencer plays Nick Massi, the two other members of the famed group.

The show opened on November 6, 2005. It also won Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Lighting (Howell Binkley) and received nominations for Des McAnuff’s direction, Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman’s book, Klara Zieglerova’s set design, and Steve Orich’s orchestrations.
