I knew little to nothing about the Jersey Boys coming in, but after the show I learned a lot more and I got to appreciate the music that people in the 50s and 60s liked.
There was never a lull during the performance. The story line was easy to comprehend. Though they do like to drop the f bomb pretty much every 5 minutes.
I believe I paid for one of the cheapest seats at about $60, and the seats were pretty high up...but honestly it didn't really matter. The venue was just big enough where you can still have great views even if you had nose bleed seats.
I recommend this....just leave the kids at the day care or something...or drop them off at Circus Circus.
