Toronto (Thursday, June 4, 2009) - Dancap Productions is thrilled to announce the Canadian production of JERSEY BOYS, now on stage at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, has been honoured with seven Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations, including Outstanding Production of a Musical.

The nominations were announced yesterday morning at The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, by the four principal actors who perform as The Four Seasons in JERSEY BOYS.  Among the announcements were nominations for Outstanding Production of a Musical for Dancap Productions Inc., Outstanding Performance by a Male in a Musical for Jeremy Kushnier (Tommy DeVito), Michael Lomenda (Nick Massi), Jeff Madden (Frankie Valli), and Quinn VanAntwerp (Bob Gaudio); as well as, Outstanding Direction of a Musical for Des McAnuff and Outstanding Choreography in a Play or Musical for Sergio Trujillo.  The Awards will be presented Monday, June 29 at the Winter Garden Theatre.

"It has always been the Dancap vision to produce Canadian productions with Canadian artists, and today's recognition by our peers and colleagues in the Toronto theatre community shows us we are on the right track" said Dancap President Aubrey Dan. "We are thrilled with today's nominations, and are proud to be producing one of the greatest JERSEY BOYS companies in the world right here in Toronto, under the artistic vision of two other great Canadian artists, Des McAnuff and Sergio Trujillo!"

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.

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.
