THE Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is heading to the Princes Theatre in Clacton as part of a UK tour.
The musical celebration takes place at 7.30pm on Friday, January 22.
The show features X Factor winner and chart-topping singer-songwriter and actor Matt Terry, alongside Damion Scarcella, Hunter Berecochea and Tristan Ward.
Matt said: "This is about giving the people coming to see us what they want.
"They're there for Frankie Valli, so I want to give them the closest version of that I can possibly give."
The show celebrates the legendary New Jersey group behind more than 50 years of hit music.
Explaining his love for the group, Matt said: "They're real.
"And they're sung by a real vocalist, telling real stories.
"Something I wish we had more time and room for in the music industry today.
"Oh What a Night always makes me feel warm.
"It's the song I remember hearing on the CD player at home when I was a kid or at a family BBQ.
"It's an undeniable feel good that everybody loves, including me."
The show features classic hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man and December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night).
Matt credits his musical-theatre training before his television success with helping him build a lasting performance career.
He said: "I'm grateful for my training because it has taught me so much.
"Specifically, the discipline that it takes to be a performer in any industry."
He also spoke about the escape and connection theatre offers.
He said: "It's definitely an escape for me... playing a role and singing other people's songs takes the pressure off!"
Matt hopes the show offers audiences more than great music as the tour gets under way.
