One of the reasons I can't bring myself to move away from London is my love of the theatre. I love everything about the West End and whether it's a musical or smaller, independent play I'm there at least once a month. Last week my mum and dad were visiting along with my auntie who hasn't been to London since I've lived there and my partner and I wanted to take her to a musical. She narrowed it down to a few shows and I managed to find a great deal and my dad kindly bought tickets for 5 of us to see Jersey Boys. The show follows the lives of the four men from New Jersey who went on to become The Four Seasons, one of the most popular and successful pop bands to ever come ..  Read the complete review

Jersey Boys...oh dear. Sorry folks - I couldn't be left out of the search for a 'Franki Valli and the Four Seasons' song related title. They have a ridiculous amount of songs which lend themselves to topping off a Dooyoo review and mine will be no exception. I think my title also has more resonance due to my dribbly fascination with Ryan Molloy (the guy playing Franki Valli in London). I wouldn't have chosen to see it myself because I didn't realise I knew quite so many Franki Valli songs and I was worried it would be some sort of tribute act where I'm usually squat between my aunt happy clapping and blaring out to every track and my mother using my knee to ...  Read the complete review

As it was our tenth wedding anniversary this weekend my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a weekend in London with a visit to a West End show. The show we chose was Jersey Boys and we were so glad that we did as it is truly a brilliant show and one that at some point I would love to see again. The show is performed at the Prince Edward Theatre and the nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road which is quite handy as it is on both the Northern and the Central line. It is only a short walk to the theatre. Jersey Boys is based on the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons going back to the time when the group was first formed in 1960 ...  Read the complete review

I am an avid theatre goer and fan but for some reason Jersey Boys had never really appealed to me when looking for shows to go and see. However, my sister had been raving on about it and when we were looking for a show to go and see we decided that we would give it a go. We weren't disappointed! We booked our tickets through the Delfont Mackintosh theatre website which was easy to use. The show is popular but it is possible to get tickets, especially on a week night. Another thing to mention is that twice we have wanted to change our tickets after booking, once at very short notice, and the theatre were very happy to do this if there were seats ...  Read the complete review

"Discover how four New Jersey boys from the wrong side of the tracks invented their own unique sound, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sold 100 million records worldwide. With spectacular performances of all their hits, JERSEY BOYS is the true life story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons" When i watch the Royal Variety performance each year, the highlight for me is always the musical theatre performers. So, flash back to 2008 and on come the Jersey Boys. I was fazed by my parents telling me that they wanted to see it and instantly was put off. But when the London cast sung a medley of 'Sherry/Big Girls dont cry/Walk like a ...  Read the complete review
