Jersey Boys Broadway Sensation

Just a week ago I was gifted with the chance to see the Broadway musical Jersey Boys with my beloved husband. We spent the evening at dinner, followed with attendance at the show. I was so thrilled to see such a raved-about event, with its jukebox pizazz and handsome men with voices that kill. To me, Jersey Boys is a perfect combination of fact and fiction- being that it is based on the true story of The Four Seasons rock 'n' roll musical group of the 1960's. I was bewildered with Broadway's illustrated portrayal of the group's professional music career- each scene was perfectly though out and realistic to its era, each actor and actress was effortlessly talent, sang everything flawlessly and accompanied their singing with amazing coreographed dancing. I have to say that if anyone loves the 1960's era, The Four Seasons and Broadway, you're in for one hell of a treat.

One of my favorite quotes of the author concerns his take on the reaction of the audience as the cast of the Jersey Boys sing and dance to their lyrical creations...

"But once the Four Seasons classics are rolled out, every other pair of shoulders in the house starts a-twitchin'. With their three-part-harmony behind Mr. Valli's hearty falsetto, the group's songs remain exasperatingly infectious. And as choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, Messrs. Young, Hoff, Reichard and Spencer come as close to simulating the originals as any pop impersonators on Broadway since "Beatlemania."
