ROCHESTER - Oh, what a night you'll have at Rochester Opera House with The Hit Men featuring former Stars of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons on Friday, April 15, at 8 p.m.

The Hit Men includes an impressive lineup of musicians who have performed and recorded with dozens of mega-stars: Jimmy Ryan (Carly Simon, Elton John, Jim Croce, Paul McCartney); Russ Velazquez (The Ramones, LL Cool J, Chicago); Lee Shapiro (Four Seasons, Barry Manilow, The Shondells); Larry Gates (Bon Jovi, Carol King, Phoebe Snow); and Gerry Polci (Barry Manilow, Four Seasons).

Polci and Shapiro toured the world with Frankie Valli and sang lead vocals on the Seasons' all-time greatest hit: Oh What A Night. Spurred by the runaway success of the Jersey Boys, the Tony-Award-winning Broadway musical based on the Four Seasons' career, Polci and Shapiro decided to reunite.

The former stars of the hit-making factory Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons, Polci and Shapiro are now touring as The Hit Men with a group of fellow A-list musicians from the '60s and '70s era.

Just some of the songs they'll likely play include Four Seasons staples like "Rag Doll," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," "Marianne" and "Sherry;" plus Cat Stevens' "Peace Train," Jim Croce's "Leroy Brown," Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" and Tommy James' "Mony, Mony."
