"How did four blue-collar kids become one of the greatest successes in pop music history? Find out at Broadway's runaway smash-hit, Jersey Boys, the Tony Award-wining Best Musical of 2006 that takes you up the charts, across the country and behind the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. As Clive Barnes in the New York Post says, "It's just too good to be true." Discover the secret of a 40-year friendship: four blue-collar kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. And experience electrifying performances of the golden greats that took these guys all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "Dawn," "My Eyes Adored You," and more. The New York Times says, "The crowd goes wild!"'

"Gritty but a Crowd-Pleaser"
From Mike Weatherford of the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
"...the absorbing story that propels this musical biography of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons has surprised audiences around the country. Those who expect perhaps a "Forever Plaid"-style revue get a crackling, cinematic staging of a saga so messy it can only be true.
...
(The creative team has) deftly meshed the group's complicated history with its song catalog. More often than not, hits such as "Bye Bye Baby" are interrupted by dialogue, fading into background to underscore the action. When a song such as "My Eyes Adored You" does break out, "Mamma Mia!" style, as the emotional expression of traditional show tuneage, the impact is more effective for its rarity,.
The group slogs its way through dive bars and bowling alleys until it meets Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen), a teen songwriting prodigy. (Then) the quartet teams up with flamboyant producer Bob Crewe (John Salvatore) and slowly but surely makes magic: The slow wind-up doesn't deliver the first Four Seasons hit "Sherry" until the 50-minute mark, and by then the audience is ready to cheer the triumph.
The writers follow the predictable band-makes-good road map, with the musical often compared to a VH1 "Behind the Music."
....
"Jersey Boys" might be gritty, but it's a crowd-pleaser at heart."

"very well done show"
Jersey Boys is an entertaining and informative show(if one ever thought deeply about frankie valli and the four seasons). The show is paced well, great voices and musicians, and the one scene depicting the group performing ....a view from the back of the stage....is way cool. Pricey tickets.
In our humble opinion, better than many shows we have seen here, but I would say it is comparable in quality to Mamma Mia.
Our favorite show here is still hypnotist Marc Savard at the V theatre.
