Jersey Boys

30 June 2011

Critically acclaimed musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, at the State Theatre, Sydney.

Seats were in the middle of the third or fourth row. Came into this one without much preconception of how it would be, apart from knowing that everyone I had heard speak about it had said it was excellent.

The show didn't disappoint. Lots of singing, drama and laughs. Quite a few familiar songs and there was a good sense of the times and personalities of the characters. It was interesting that they used herb cigarettes during the performance.

Loved the climatic number with the brass band "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

Of the musicals I've seen, the ones I would see again would be this one, Billy Elliot and Les Misérables.
