The Story of Jersey Boys
The story is a really engaging, classic rags to riches, tale of four, undeniably cute young men who can sing. Set in New Jersey in the early 60s it tells how the boys found fame and fortune and what they lost and gained along the way. Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons may not ring bells at once for the younger UK musical fans. They might recognise some of the songs though:
There’s a bit of an early 60s revival going on in the UK music scene at the moment so the show might just hit a nerve with a younger audience.
Jersey Boys is Already a Broadway Hit
Like so many current West End musicals Jersey Boys comes to London as an already proven hit. It won Best Musical at the 2007 TONYS. Have a look at this - I think Jersey Boys could be a great ‘feel good’ evening out!

Another jukebox musical masqurading as musical theatre!
A fair comment but have you seen it yet? I was equally sceptical when the show was announced but the reviews seem to suggest that there is quite a moving and gritty plot-line present, so a bit more than just a tribute band show.
