Jersey Boys: Original Broadway Cast Recording is the Grammy-winning cast album for the 2005 Broadway musical Jersey Boys, which tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The album was produced by Bob Gaudio, one of the original members of the Four Seasons. Principal vocalists include original Broadway cast members Christian Hoff as Tommy DeVito, Daniel Reichard as Bob Gaudio, J. Robert Spencer as Nick Massi and John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli. It was released November 1, 2005 by Rhino Entertainment and reached number eighty-five on the Billboard 200.[3] In February 2008, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA.[4] As of December 2014, the album has sold 1.4 million copies in the US.[5] In the week ending January 25, 2018, the original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton: An American Musical skipped past the original Broadway cast recording of Jersey Boys in total sales. Hamilton now reigns as the fifth-largest-selling cast album since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991.

Ahead of Hamilton and Jersey Boys on the top-selling cast albums list of the Nielsen era: the highlights edition of the original London cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera, with 4.972 million sold; the original Broadway cast recording of Wicked (2.728 million); the original cast recording of Mamma Mia! (1.717 million); and the original Broadway cast recording of Les Miserables (1.661 million).
