Jersey Boys, Riverside Center

Cooper is performing the lead role of Nick Massi, the bass of the Four Seasons.

“Shaw is wonderfully cast as Nick Massi, the brooding bassist who often wonders if he should start his own group. Opposite of motormouth Tommy, he is quiet and reserved, so it’s a fun moment when Nick unleases years’ worth of pent-up frustration on his frequent and terrible roomie.” - Weekender, Fredericksburg, VA.
