I love when I see positive reviews and I love it even more when I TOTALLY AGREE! This is my first time reviewing a performance and it's just so different from a food review. Usually with a restaurant, you can spell out every single detail but you just can't do that here so I'm just going to touch on a few things.
This show was just so enjoyable from the amazing acting to the great music! There are so many shows in Vegas that it gets hard to pick which one to see. I know Cirque de Soleil shows are always popular. The ones I saw Love (just okay) and Mystere (very good) were interesting enough but what REALLY does it for me is a great story. Jersey Boys definitely delivered and I'd pick a great musical over a Cirque de Soleil show any day of the week.
I'm going to say that Jersey Boys almost had elements of an "E! True Hollywood Story" but done musical style and live & right in front of you. Going into the show, I didn't know much about the story. Some famous music group from Jersey right? I learned that it's based on the 1960's group "The Four Seasons" who had amazing hit songs everyone has heard probably hundreds of times but didn't realize or know it was them like "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry." If you still don't recognize, go youtube it right now!
This isn't a fairy tale where there are only minor problems and everyone is amazingly happy at the end. You can feel the real life flaws of these men but also the loyalty and love they had for each other and the music. You will leave singing the songs and reliving the story in your mind for years to come.
Everytime you hear one of their songs, you'll not only know which group originally sang it but the heart and soul, the sweat and tears that MADE this group.
Enjoy!
