| - "My eyes adored you,
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you.
Like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see,
How I adored you.
So close, so close and yet so far." - "My Eyes Adored You", Frankie Vallie & the 4 Seasons
I loved "Jersey Boys"!! The musical retelling of how the group last known as "The 4 Seasons" came to be, starting at the humble beginnings of standing underneath a streetlamp in New Jersey. I'm a big fan of Franki Valli's music & getting to see how he became the multimillion selling, international hit singer had me hooked from the moment the lights came on.
The actor who portrayed Frankie Valli was dynamite!!!. He hit those high notes like a champ. To me, he resembled the Brazilian race car driver, Helio Castroneves. The supporting cast also did a magnificent job during the show. We had primo seats, 5 rows from the stage, in Row D. Looking around, all the seats seem to have a good view, but I must say I loved my vantage point.
FYI, there is typical "Jersey talk" used during the show, aka profanity, & there is also some gun action/blood. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend taking the little ones. There is an 8 minute intermission with a handy countdown timer displayed on the stage, for those wanting to make sure they get back just in time.
I defy anyone not to sing along & have the catchy songs of Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons in their head for the rest of the night & the day after, as well. I immensely enjoyed "Jersey Boys" at Paris Las Vegas from beginning to end.
I highly recommend you come & catch a performance of one of the greatest shows on The Strip!

What a very special time for me,
As I remember, what a night!" - "December 1963", Frankie Vallie & the 4 Seasons
