| - First off, I want to say thank you so so so much to the yelp community... After reading these reviews I rolled the dice on the free upgrade, and guess what, IT WORKED! I bought 3 of the cheapest tickets I could find and go moved from like the last row in the place, to row T, bottom floor, center! Now, there were other people who got seated up top in our area that DID NOT get upgraded, so it really is a gamble, but this is VEGAS! I calculated that these reviews saved me $140, so thanks guys!!!
Anyway, about the show, loved it (not in love with it though) that's what my girlfriend is for : ). The volume of music these guys had was unknown by me, and to be honest, I thought a lot of their songs were written by the Beach Boys... I was sorely mistaken!
LIKES: The stage was simple yet useful for the performers, backdrops were similar to each other, but different enough to get the idea that the scene changed, volume was great, COMEDY made me laugh, and the singer(s) were all very talented not only vocally, but at playing their instruments and dancing!
DISLIKES: The actors on stage had 3-4 occasions where their backs were to the audience... I learned that this is a big no-no from being in Drama shows myself in HS, but they did make it work. LANGUAGE!!!! Yes, its Jersey and that's how people talked back then, but I brought my mother who was really turned off by it... You can make your point that it was a rough neighborhood and tough people without using the F word about 50 times throughout the show. I also would have liked to have seen a little more variety in the sets to be honest... If you see shows like Phantom or Le Miserable you will know what I mean...
All-in-all, worth the $77 dollars we paid per ticket (the upgrade was great!) and I would suggest anyone go see it. Even if you don't THINK you know their music, trust me you do... Unless you live under a rock... : )
