[Comment Sota Hanamura]
It was decided that I would be able to appear in the long-awaited work this time, and while I was excited, at the same time, I felt a lot of pressure from the world view and love for the work that Mr. Nakagawa and the other cast and staff had created so far. increase.
While receiving advice from my seniors, I would like to play Franky as much as I can.
It's a time like this, but I'm sure you won't regret it, so I'd appreciate it if you could come to the theater.

[Synopsis]
It all started in a poor rural area of New Jersey.
Frankie, who has the voice of an angel, is welcomed into the band group of Tommy and Nick, who dream of success. The three of them immediately started their music activities, but even with Franky's singing voice, the group still lacked something.

Bob, who is full of talent for composition, joins while the days of not singing and not flying continue. Fascinated by Frankie's voice, Bob wants to write a song for it. However, what awaited them with no money or connections was a harsh life from the bottom up. Even so, they polish their music and let their talents bloom. Finally Bob's song and the four harmonies caught the eye of a big producer. They signed a contract with a record company as "The Four Seasons" and produced songs one after another that became number one in the United States, including "Sherry". Hit song after hit song, long tour, and days of drinking and playing without caring about family. The four of them should have gained fame and fortune, but behind their brilliant success, various problems broke out, such as huge debts, feuds within the group, and family discord, and undermined their strong bond. rice field. They eventually became an irreparable big conflict, tearing the group apart.

successes and setbacks. What did the four of them see ahead as they ran through the dramatic seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter?
