Diane and I saw Jersey Boys last night. For those of you who have been vacationing on Jupiter the past couple of years, Jersey Boys is the story of the famous Sixties group, The Four Seasons. Plenty of music and drama. If the touring company shows up in your neighborhood, this musical is well worth seeing. Here’s a partial song list and a sample of what we saw:
1. Ces Soirees
2. The Early Years: A Scrapbook Jersey Boys
3. Cry For Me
4. Backup Sessions
5. Sherry
6. Big Girls Don’t Cry
7. Walk Like A Man
8. December 1963 [Oh, What A Night]
9. My Boyfriend’s Back
10. My Eyes Adored You
11. Dawn [Go Away]
12. Big Man In Town
13. Dialogue: A Little Trouble
14. Beggin’
15. Dialogue: See How You Handle It
16. Medley: Stay/Let’s Hang On/Opus 17 [Don’t You Worry ‘Bout Me/Bye, Bye, Baby]
17. C’Mon Marianne
18. Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You
19. Working My Way Back To You
20. Fallen Angel
21. Rag Doll
22. Who Loves You
We saw the Broadway version Christmas eve of 2006 and a couple of the original guys (and Tony winners) were still in it. As certified Four Seasons fans we loved the show.
I was impressed with the storyline in JERSEY BOYS, Jeff. I didn’t expect it to be so compelling. And, of course, the music was great!
We saw it on Broadway in March. Really enjoyed it, too. More than I expected.
The FOUR SEASONS music is timeless, Patti. And the story of their success and troubles has surprising power.
Saw it in Seattle a couple of years ago and loved it. Even the $26 parking bill at a nearby garage didn’t spoil the evening for me. Nearly, but not quite.
I’d go see JERSEY BOYS again in a heartbeat, Bob. Great show!
