| - "Oh What A Night..."
...And it definitely was superb night watching Jersey Boys!
Absolutely, one of my favorite all time musicals I've ever seen. This one is definitely up there with Phantom of the Opera, Avenue Q and Wicked as being my favorites. I've seen a good number of Broadway Musicals, and by far, Jersey Boys has been the most entertaining, exciting, and heart-felt.
After all, it's the story of the real Four Seasons, the extraordinary music group of the 1960s. So you can be sure the heart of the musical is all real!
I had the pleasure of watching Jersey Boys with my family during our stay at the Palazzo. My folks are born and raised here in the US, and they are big fans of the Four Seasons. So it's no doubt, I heard a lot of their music growing up as well. Before I was able to establish my own tastes in music, I listened to their favorites...the Oldies!
Had it not been for this historical musical of the Four Seasons, I would've never known the background to their rise and fall in the music industry. Most folks associate Frankie Valli as being the leader of the group as he undoubtedly has the voice of all voices, and has the ability to change the tone of his voice in a variety of different pitches.
This musical gives rightful recognition to all of the original members of the group, and not just Valli. Tommy DeVito, the bad-ass backbone of the group; Nick Massi, responsible for the groups vocals and preparation of voices; and Bob Guardio, the man behind the majority of the songs and hits of the Four Seasons.
The members of the Four Seasons are just average Joe's. You learn of their past history before they became famous with the group. And appreciate what it means to come from nothing, and end up with your Dreams!
The four actors playing the original Four Seasons, played their parts perfectly. Rick Faugno's performance of Frankie Valli was awesome, as his singing voice was extremely close to the actual Valli. It seems as all of the actors were cast perfectly to play to original Four Seasons...Devon May, Jeff Leibow, and Peter Saide.
The Vegas Cast of Jersey Boys was awesome. I've listened to the Original Broadway Cast's version of the musical, and by far, in my opinion, the Vegas Cast knocks the OBC out of the water.
We had perfect seats, 7 rows away from the stage in the VIP Orchestra section. So you can beat your ass we hashed out a good deal of money! No regrets! The seats were amazing--soft, comfortable and lots of leg room.
With the combination of Broadway stage Musical, and the most awesome ground-breaking decade in music--1960s--together, the story of the Four Seasons comes alive in an energetic, heart-felt, way. The mesh of music and story never came together so beautifully!
Never once in my history of watching musicals, have I ever sat the entire length of the performance, in a big huge
S M I L E.
Thank you dear Vegas Cast of Jersey Boys!
