Description: Based on the electrifying true life story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

Newest Review: ... across both sides. Anyway enough about the theatre and onto the show itself... Jersey Boys as I said previously is based around the story of the band 'The Four Seasons' and the singer Frankie Valli. The story starts being told by Tommy Devito (Glenn Carter) who is one of the original band members. The original band started with him, Nick Massi (Philip Bulcock) and Tommy's brother Nick as ... more

I live in London and wish I could go to the theatre more, but is does tend to be quite expensive. When my Mum comes up to visit my we do often go though which is a very nice treat. This time my Mum and sister went to go and get tickets but I had mentioned this is one of the shows I would like to see. They managed to get some reduced tickets in the stalls section and so we went to see the show. I didn't actually know much about the show before I saw it. I knew that it was about the band the Four Seasons and I knew a couple of their songs.

I got this CD because of all the hype on Royal Variety, an Elaine Paige interview on radio two and the fact that my colleague went to see it and would not shut up about it. I like musicals a lot, I don't always like 'jukebox musicals' I put this CD on when was driving home and hated it. i couldn't dind a song I new. Well, apart from 'Oh What a Night' or 'Ce Soiree La'. the talk made no sense and I got bored. My next car trip and put it on again. I skipped to 'Sherry Baby' and I was blown away, Then comes 'Big Girls Don't cry' and 'Walk Like A Man'. This was turning into the best CD soundtrack of recent year. If ... Read the complete review

When I went to see The Rat Pack at Wimbledon Theatre last year I have to say I had a very enjoyable evening. So when my other half suggested that we go to se Jersey Boys, you can imagine the look on my face, a look that I add that can only be described as sheer joy. I had never been to see a London based show so I had a high level of expectation from the evening. Booking the tickets for the evening was easy; as I was working in Central London at the time I decided to use the Box Office at the Prince Edward Theatre instead of using Ticketmaster. The staff were friendly and were professional in the manner than I was dealt with. As both the in-laws were also ... Read the complete review
