Last evening my wife and I saw JERSEY BOYS for the second time and I can tell you that this musical biography of Frankie Vallie and The Four Seasons is in tip top shape. The show has just started it's fifth year on Broadway, and it is as fresh and shiny as it was when we first saw it at the beginning of it's run.
The book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is as hard hitting as ever and all of those great Four Seasons classic songs sound as if they were written yesterday.
Des MacAnuff's staging and Sergio Trujillo's choreography are opening night fresh and the current cast is up to snuff.
This is so much more than a juke box musical. At the end you really care about these guys, and you are on your feet yelling bravo just as the audience we saw it with last night was.
JERSEY BOYS is my wifes favorite current Broadway show,and even in it's fifth year it is still one of the best evenings you will spend on Broadway. If you haven't seen it go at once. If you have, go again.
At THE AUGUST WILSON THEATRE 245 WEST 52nd STREET N.Y.C.
