Jersey boys is the mega hit musical
about the The Four seasons. So now
you know. Of course, who does not
know The Four Seasons, if not them
who does not know Jersey Boys. For
those hopeless souls who don't The
Four seasons are the guys who were
on the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
The four boys were Frankie Valli and
Nick Massi from Newark, Tommy DeVito
from Belleville and the Bronx-born
Bob Gaudio. The Broadway Musical is
about these four boys from the wrong
side of the fence who not only
crossed it but made it big in the
arena too. They became one of
the biggest pop sensations in the
history of American music. They
wrote their own songs, recorded them
and were all time greats even before
they were thirty. The sounds they
produced was their own invention.
They sold a record breaking 178
million records.
Jersey Boys is a genre by
themselves. They have got what can
be called jukesicals. Its a clever
interweaving of biography and songs
in a way that is fresh and original.
People go inside the show knowing
every song the band ever recorded.
The music is a memory arousing
experience of
those wild youth times. The play has
a star cast that are household names
by now. Christian Hoff stars as
Tommy DeVito and Daniel Reichard
shines as Bob Gaudio, J. Robert
Spencer is Nick Massi and lasly John
Lloyd Young plays the unforgettable
Frankie Valli
The performance is based
on the book by Marshall
Brickman and Rick Elice. The
music that takes on and
meets the challenge of
standing up to the high
expectations is by Bob
Gaudio himself. The lyrics
are by Bob Crewe. Lastly,
the unmatched direction is
by Des McAnuff.
The performances and staging
couldn't be any better. A
special congratulations for
Howell Binkley's atmospheric
lighting. Michael Clark is
the guy behind those very
apt and original
projections. But no body is
supposed to ignore the
non-singing performers as
Mark Lotitio who expertly
handles several roles.
The show got all-around
positive first night
reviews. That led to an
instantaneous ticket buying
spree with more than $2
million garnered in single
tickets since the opening
night. So when you decide to
get to the show, buy your
tickets from an on-line
ticket vendor not to ruin
your evening
plans for non-availability

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - If the audience could have moved fast
enough, they would have experienced a bizarre show business form of double
vision Wednesday night in New York. That's because "Jersey Boys," the hit
musical depicting the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, was
playing on Broadway, while the real thing was singing fewer than 10 blocks
away at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall.
Well, not completely the real thing, to be accurate, since the original
Four Seasons are long gone. But the group's lead singer is still going
strong, accompanied by a current edition of the Seasons and finding his
career newly revitalized by the stage show's smash success. He currently is
recording a new album scheduled for release next year by Universal.
Kicking off with his very last No. 1 single, the title song from the film
"Grease," the still youthful-looking Valli delivered a 90-minute show that
featured one chart-topping hit after another. The sheer volume of perfectly
crafted singles was staggering: "Sherry," "Walk Like a Man," "Big Girls
Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Dawn," "Save It for Me," "Let's Hang On," "Working
My Way Back to You," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "My Eyes Adored You," "Swearin'
to God" and "Our Day Will Come" are but a sampling of the group or solo hits
performed.
Jersey Boys Ticket Reviews
Sometimes a commercial artistic impulse and demography seem to merge in a
way that guarantees success. I think we’ll be seeing an example of this
phenomenon when the new musical Jersey Boys, about the lives and career of
the pre-boomer pop group The Four Seasons, that just opened at the
newly-named August Wilson Theater (formerly the Virginia) becomes the smash
hit it deserves to be.
In recent years, there have been a string of
middlebrow musicals with scores composed entirely of well-known pop songs.
Some, like Mamma Mia, have been worldwide megahits. Others like All Shook Up
and Lennon have been bombs. I expect Jersey Boys to fall into the former
category, though perhaps not on a worldwide basis because of its distinctly
New York area feel.
Set to dozens of classic rock tunes by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, the new
show is a better product than Mamma Mia, which has the great ABBA songs, but
a puerile made-up story. For Jersey Boys, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice
have fashioned a touching bittersweet book from the real life stories of
Frankie Valli (nee Castelluchio), Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi and Bob Gaudio,
four guys from the ‘hood who became the original members of The Four
Seasons.
It certainly doesn’t hurt that their tales include key
elements of The Godfather and The Sopranos, like jail, loan sharks, drugs,
casual sex and ODs or that it is all rooted in the Garden State in the
1950s, a period when many early baby boomers—now in their prime theater
ticket-buying years—were young
