An exclusive West Coast appearance by New York’s Radio City Rockettes plus four touring productions already announced for Los Angeles engagements highlight the Orange County Performing Arts Center’s 2007-08 Broadway Series, announced today.

First up is “Jersey Boys,” the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (Nov. 13-Dec. 1). The Tony Award-winning musical, originally presented by the La Jolla Playhouse, comes to OCPAC following national tour stops at L.A.’s Ahmanson Theatre (May 25-Aug. 5) and the San Diego Civic Theatre, where an Oct. 17-Nov. 11 run was announced today by Broadway/San Diego.

The “Radio City Christmas Spectacular” (Dec. 13-30) is the series’ holiday offering. Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of “Twelve Angry Men” (Feb. 26-March 9, 2008), with Richard Thomas, and the London production of “My Fair Lady” (June 3-15, 2008) land at OCPAC after Ahmanson engagements in 2007.
