"Oh what a night!" That is exactly what you will be saying after seeing this wonderful show.

A trip to the August Wilson Theater to see "Jersey Boys" is a license to sit back, reminisce, and enjoy the wonderful legacy of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons.

Not only is the music captivating, the story is cleverly told and magnificently acted.  Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice have written a book that takes the audience on an amazing journey through the eyes of each of the Four Seasons themselves.  Sometimes those eyes see things differently and that provides some of the intrigue.  Throw in the nostalgic music of Bob Gaudio and memorable lyrics of Bob Crewe and you have a huge winner!

Klara Zieglarova's set is raw, powerful, and helps tell the story as much as any actor or actress on stage.

Actors Matt Bogart, Dominic Nolfi, Andrew Rannells, and Jarrod Spector portray the original Four Seasons with incredible resemblance to the real thing.  In fact, close your eyes and you could swear that you were listening to  the voices of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi, and Tommy DeVito.

Every night the sell-out crowds at the August Wilson Theater prove that big girls do indeed cry.  They also laugh and cheer right along with the cast of this wonderful show.  Oh yeah, so are the boys sitting next to them.

Why you should see it?  You love great music, a great story, great acting, and a chance to go back in time.

Why you may not want to see it?  You are holding out for the Monkees tell-all musical.
