Cool Stuff I've Found...
I just got a chance to see the new Broadway play, "Jersey Boys". I think it just opened recently.
It's great! It's the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who were (obviously) from New Jersey.
I always loved their music as a kid -- Even though I'm only 34, I like to say I grew up with oldies... my parents always played them around the house and use to run record hops in the 70's.
The 4 Seasons had hits such as "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Rag Doll", "Walk Like a Man"... and Frankie Vallie had his own hits such as "December, 1963" (Oh what a night...) and "Can't take my eyes off of you...".
Anyway, the story is great... I won't spoil it, but lots of ups and downs and connections with a well known actor of today. It's very well paced, keeps you interested, and the music is great. The lead who plays Frankie is about 95% of the real deal. He does an excellent job.
Definitely check this out if you get to go to NYC. It's selling out ahead of time so book ahead!

I wish I could remember his name right now ... but, alas, all I remember is that he (the lead) was working at the theatre as a doorman and tried out and MADE IT!!!! And he’s been LEADING ever since ... it is a great story!!!
