Single tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday for the Arizona run of the Broadway hit "Jersey Boys."

The show, about the blue-collar roots of the biggest boy band of all time, the Four Seasons (Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi), runs Sept. 27-Oct. 14 at ASU's Gammage Auditorium, on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. The musical snagged four Tonys, including Best Musical.

No prices were released for tickets, available through Ticketmaster, 321-1000.

Two prominent Tucson attorneys have taken the helm of the Tucson Symphony Society Board of Trustees, the governing board of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra.

Nancy J. March, who practices bankruptcy law with DeConcini McDonald Yetwin & Lacy, P.C., was named president. She succeeds Patricia O. Bjorhovde. Erwin D. Kratz, an attorney at Fennemore Craig who has provided legal counsel to the TSO for the last five years in general and employment law, succeeded March as president-elect.

Both have long ties to the TSO. March has been involved with the symphony since she came to Tucson in 1985. She worked in the orchestra's marketing department and assisted when the TSO launched its box office.

Kratz, a standout and captain of the South African National Swimming Team in 1983, has helped the orchestra with legal matters for the past five years.

Both took office on July 1, according to TSO officials.

Men, can you sing high? Can you sing low?

The Arizona Repertory Singers is auditioning tenors and basses next month to fill the ranks of the 50-voice mixed ensemble.

The group, which boasts itself "Tucson's crown jewel of choral groups," rehearses from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays at the Scottish Rite Temple, 160 S. Scott Ave., Downtown.

The group, under the direction of Dr. Jeffry Jahn, is beginning its 24th year. Its season will include eight full concerts in addition to smaller engagements.

The group rehearses from September to May and performs an eclectic repertoire that spans Renaissance to classical works to Americana, spirituals and modern music.

Those interested in auditioning must be able to read music and should have some choral experience. To arrange an audition, call 792-8141. Auditions will be held at Fountain of Life Lutheran Church, 710 S. Kolb Road, south of Broadway.

The Catalina Chamber Orchestra is changing its name.

It's now the Tucson Chamber Orchestra, a name that better reflects the community the professional ensemble has represented for 17 years.

"We have been in Tucson a long time and have made a significant contribution to the arts in this city," noted orchestra founder and music director Enrique Lasansky. "Our name should reflect the community we serve."

The orchestra also will move its concerts to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, from runs at the Berger Performing Arts Center and Pima Community College, beginning with its season opener Oct. 13. In April, it will play a concert at the Fox Theatre, Downtown.

In other orchestra news, Lasansky, who earlier this summer guest-conducted two concerts with the State Orchestra of Mexico, said he has appointed Ellen Chamberlain concertmaster. Chamberlain also plays with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra.
