Toronto (Wednesday, June 10, 2009) – Dancap Productions Inc., announced today, that beginning June 16, Daniel Robert Sullivan will assume the role of Tommy DeVito in the Dora-nominated Canadian production of JERSEY BOYS, on stage at the Toronto Centre for the Arts.

Now in its eleventh month in Toronto, tickets are on sale for JERSEY BOYS through September 27, 2009.

Originally from Rhode Island, Daniel Robert Sullivan spent eleven years performing in regional theatres in fifteen states, including Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Utah Shakespearean Festival, Arizona Theatre Company and New York Theatre Workshop. Sullivan’s national tours include Pirates of Penzance and Jesus Christ Superstar. He can also be seen winning in reruns on Hollywood Squares.

The cast also stars Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi, Jeff Madden as Frankie Valli, and Quinn VanAntwerp as Bob Gaudio.
The company also comprises: Gabriel Antonacci, Matthew Brown, Matt Cassidy, Jennifer Copping, Jade Elliott, Élodie Gillett, Bryan Hindle, Victoria Lamond, Aaron MacKenzie, Adrian Marchuk, W. Joseph Matheson, Timothy Sell, Lindsay Thomas, Grant Tilly and Shawn Wright.

JERSEY BOYS is the story behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It tells the story of how four blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were 30.

True musical icons, The Four Seasons is one of very few American acts whose success was not derailed by the British invasion of the Beatles in 1964. With their 19 top ten hits, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and covers of their songs still hitting the pop charts, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons is one of the most successful singing groups in rock and roll history. Their legacy continues with the cast recording of JERSEY BOYS, produced by Bob Gaudio, certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Directed by two-time Tony Award® winner and Toronto native Des McAnuff, JERSEY BOYS is written by Academy Award winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo, another Toronto native.

JERSEY BOYS is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award®, the 2006 Grammy Award® for Best Musical Show Album, and most recently, the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical.

The Canadian production of JERSEY BOYS is produced by Dancap Productions Inc., Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group in association with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
