Spokeswoman Aimee Pugh said: “Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

" They were just four guys from New Jersey until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of.

"But while their harmonies were perfect onstage, off stage it was a very different stort – a story that has made them an international sensation all over again.
