Jersey Boys
The story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Nearest Tube: Leicester Square (On the Piccadilly and Northern line)
When: Tuesday - Saturday 7.30pm and 3.00pm matinees on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Jersey Boys is the hit musical about four Italian high school dropouts from Belleville New Jersey who share a dream. They form a quartet and start their journey to stardom singing together under local streetlamps. Tommy's the leader of the group, he's a gangster and a guitarist with enough swagger for all four of them. Frankie's the voice with an unbelievable range. Nick's the harmonius genius behind the group's vocal arrangements and also the bass player. And lastly, but never least, there's Bob. He's the master songwriter responsible for all the hit songs. Throw in Bob "Golden Ears" Crewe, the bands producer, and you've got a recipe for success.
The show takes you from the day Tommy discovered Frankie (1960's) right up to the present day where the band have been entered into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The story is told by each member of the group in turn. It is at times funny, emotional and heartwarming. The songs directly link up with the plot to create an unforgettable experience. Join the boys on the rocky road to fame and find out the price of success.
My Star Moment: My eyes adored you.
The theatre is big and well kept with comfy seats and excellent lighting and sound quality.
Costumes, makeup and wigs are flawless and appropriate for the eras in question.
Theatre facilities: two bars, refreshment stands and plenty of clean toilets.
Program prices: £3 for small and £5 for large.
Special note: for those with sensitive ears, avoid sitting to the far sides of the front three rows as this is where the speakers are and at times they are quite loud. These seats would be excellent however for the hard of hearing and those who like their music loud.
