| - My first ever show in Las Vegas. And could I've picked a better show than Jersey Boys at the theater inside the Palazzo?
Earlier in the month, I made reservation for some crappy balcony seats for $80.00. I got my confirmation and the usual necessity(s) to ensure that I get in.
After I left the Palazzo's ticket booth and after receiving my ticket, I asked the usher, "Where's my seat, punk?" (I did actually say that).
He told me that tonight is my lucky night. The show was not sold out.
So he changed the section on my ticket stub and direct me to Front Orchestra Section (section E), which face-value costed $150.00.
When I got to my new seat, I was on the ground level and five rows away from the performing stage. The only downfault was that I was seated near some giant-ass speakers. But I'm definitely not complaining about the new seat.
The show began with young and vibrant Frankie Valli (played by Travis Cloer) teaming up with Tommy DeVito (played by Deven May), Nick Massi (played by Jeff Leibow) and Bob Gaudio (played by Peter Saide) to form one of the most notable musical bands of all time. The story began with the rise and fall of the band. The band performing at smaller venues to make their presence felt by singing one of their many greatest hits. Next, the conflicts and problems, which slowly leads to the departure of each of the original band members. Then, the tragic lost of Valli's daughter, which devastated him and leaving him lost. Finally, the reuniting return of the original four when they were inducted into Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
I'm not going too much more on one of Las Vegas hottest shows and let you see for yourself. You might never know; the show may not be sold-out and one of the kind ushers may redirect you to better seat(s).
As a momento, I also bought their musical CD at the gift shop; located near the theater entrance.
There are other shows and performances in Las Vegas, but Jersey Boys is by a landslide the best show. And I would definitely see the show again.
