From “Jersey Boys” to jousting, Scene & Heard suggest fun things to do this weekend.

Thursday

Jersey Boys

One of the most successful shows on Broadway, “Jersey Boys,” returns to Tampa to remind us why The Four Seasons are still considered one of the most popular music acts of all time. With songs like “Walk like a Man” and “December 1963 (Oh What a Night)” the whole family should be tapping their toes to this high-spirited musical.

Based on a true story, the musical follows Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi as they work through their mundane, blue-collar jobs in order to see the creation of the world-renowned American rock group The Four Seasons come to fruition.

Time: Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. The show will be running through April 17.

Location: David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. MacInnes Place
