The San Francisco engagement of the national tour of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Jersey Boys at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre will now play until March 25. The show was originally scheduled to close on February 11.

The show, which tells the story of the pop group The Four Seasons, has music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe, a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and is directed by DesMcAnuff. It stars Erich Bergen as Gaudio, Michael Ingersoll as Nick Massi, Christopher Kale Jones as Frankie Valli, and Deven May as Tommy DeVito. The cast also includes John Altieri, Miles Aubrey, Erik Bates, Sandra DeNise, Jennifer Evans, Rick Faugno, Eric Gutman, Nathan Klau, Brandon Matthieus, Jackie Seiden, Joseph Siravo, Jarrod Spector, Taylor Sternberg, and Melissa Strom.

The creative team once again includes Sergio Trujillo (choreography), Klara Zieglerova (sets), Jess Goldstein (costumes), Howell Binkley (lighting), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound), Michael Clark (projections), Charles LaPointe (wig and hair design), Steve Orich (orchestrations) and Ron Melrose (music direction, vocal arrangements and incidental music).

No tour stops are currently set for right after the San Francisco run, but the show is scheduled to play Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre from May 25 through August 5 and will come to Chicago’s LaSalle Bank Theatre in October 2007.
