The Jersey Boys! Last evening, Shelly & I attended the musical show at Milwaukee's Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and was blown away! A year ago we saw Wicked, the musical; and last June while in NY we saw Chicago, the musical; but I honestly believe neither compared to what we experienced last evening.
Jersey Boys is a jukebox musical with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and the book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. It is a documentary-style musical, based on the lives of one of the most successful 1960s rock 'n roll groups, the Four Seasons.
The story dramatizes the forming, rise and eventual break-up of the original four members of The Four Seasons. The musical is separated into four Acts, each narrated by a different member of the band: Spring (Tommy DeVito), Summer (Bob Gaudio), Fall (Nick Massi) and Winter (Frankie Valli); each member has a different perspective on the band and their contribution to it.
It could have gone on for four more hours and I wouldn't have complained! We bought the CD and I listened to it at work today about 3 times at least! Oh What A Night!
