i am not one for the cinema but i so want to see jersey boys when it released here Sometimes a band is so iconic its members seem more like living legends than flesh and blood. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is one of those bands. You know all their hits, even if you think you don’t. And the joyous, feel-good, Olivier Award-winning Jersey Boys is your chance to glimpse the men behind the music – the mafia links, the jail stints, the fall-outs and the ultimate triumph of one of the greatest bands of all time. Whats the story? Jersey Boys isn’t one of those musicals that pegs a few songs onto a flimsy story. You’ll be gripped as you learn how the area they came from shaped the lives, loves and songs of The Four Seasons – and all straight from the horse’s mouth, as each band member takes a turn at telling his tale. You’ll hear how mob connections, bad debts, prison time and jealousy took their toll, but also how talent took them to the very top. And along the way you’ll find out one or two fascinating facts – how fellow Jersey boy Joe Pesci turned the trio into a quartet, how the band got their name, and how the mega-hit Can’t Take My Eyes Off You almost never was. Whos in it? From Big Girls Don’t Cry to December 1963 (Oh, What a Night), Walk Like a Man, Working My Way Back To You and Bye, Baby (Baby, Goodbye), you’ll be wowed by the sheer wealth of hits – not to mention added extras from the girl band they toured with. No wonder the cast album garnered a Grammy. Speaking of the Jersey Boys cast, it currently features Jon Lee of S Club 7 fame, sharing the lead role of Frankie Valli with solo artist Ryan Molloy (Jerry Springer The Opera). Jon Boydon (We Will Rock You), David McGranaghan amd Edd Post portray the other Jersey Boys, Tommy, Nick and Bob. Who is Jersey Boys: London suitable for? You’ll particularly love Jersey Boys if you’re a baby boomer. But this really is one of those shows people see, then come back again with the whole family. You’ll instantly respond to the doo-wop beats of those timeless classics, whatever your age. And if you’re a fan of The Sopranos or Goodfellas, you’ll be surprised to find this story has edge as well as fantastic songs and a whole lot of heart. Please Note: Some authentic New Jersey strong language may make this inappropriate for young children.
