JERSEY BOYS

On a trip to Chicago last year, Cindy coaxed me into getting some tickets to a musical that she had heard about and thought would be fun to see. May I address here:

Guys (in general) DO NOT like musicals.

Well, to make my wife happy...to stay on her good side...to be the 'good' husband...I got tickets to see the 'Jersey Boys' while we were visiting Joni & Ryan. Since it was tax season and Ryan was busy, so we took Joni along.

Well...it was one of the damn most fun things I've seen for a long time!

Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. The musical basically started from the time they were individual guys just starting out until after they had gone their own ways. Each "Season" of the musical was from the perspective of each of the guys in the band.

The music was great...each of the guys portraying the characters were great singers...the story about them was very interesting...just a great musical and a great time.

Joni said she even enjoyed it, and was surprised at how many of the songs she knew. I wasn't surprised since she grew up in a home where a radio was going much of the time with oldies from Cindy & my generation.

Anyway...sounds like the musical has ran its course in Chicago. If you haven't seen it, but would have the opportunity to see it somewhere someday...see it. You won't be disappointed.
