Tina Turner star Ruva Ngwenya to open Jersey Forever as new tickets released this week

A final release of tickets to Jersey Forever has been announced, including premium reserve seats, for the one-night-only concert at the Palais Theatre, to be performed by the original Australian stars of Jersey Boys on Friday 7 August.

Also announced, Ruva Ngwenya, acclaimed star of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical will open the night, performing some of Tina Turner’s greatest hits to get the party started.

One of musical theatre’s most sought-after and elite performers, award-winning Ruva has been seen in a string of other hit musicals, including Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Beautiful: The Carol King Musical and The Lion King and is known for her electrifying onstage presence.

The phenomenal success of Jersey Boys in Australia saw original stars, Bobby Fox, Glaston Toft, Stephen Mahy and Scott Johnson, in a record-breaking run, where they played to over a million people across the country. In Jersey Forever they revisit the soaring melodies, slick choreography and the very best of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, joined on stage by a live 10-piece band.

For one night only at the Palais Theatre, audiences will relish non-stop hits performed by some of the country’s best loved musical theatre performers and relive the magic of their most iconic roles to date.
