Shows & Movies in ATX
— Take Your Date to See The Jersey Boys @ Zach Theater
Through Sunday, March 2 | Various times here | Ticket prices start at $25 here
We love seeing shows at Zach Theater. The parking is easy, Topfer Theater is delightful, and now you can order your snacks and drinks in advance for intermission! Zach’s main stage show through March is The Jersey Boys: From the streets of New Jersey to the pinnacle of fame, witness the incredible 40-year friendship that fueled the success of four blue-collar kids in Jersey Boys. This Tony-winning Broadway hit, packed with chart-topping songs from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” celebrates the iconic music that earned the famous four a well-deserved place in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. The show is recommended for ages 12+, so this would be for older kids or date night!
