Another Great Review This Week!
December 9th, 2005The latest Jersey Boys review out there is from Gay City News. Christopher Byrne, like so many others, loved it! Here’s a sampling of what he said:
-
With “Jersey Boys,†writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer Bob Gaudio and lyricist Bob Crewe have demonstrated that there might be decent shows to be developed from pre-existing material. Not just decent, in fact—downright entertaining.
-
It reminds us that perhaps it’s time to expand the mythic “American Songbook†to include not just Gershwin, Berlin and Porter but musical innovators like Gaudio and Crewe as well.
-
Director Des McAnuff keeps the action moving, and makes the entire evening a wonderful spectacle and a real breakthrough for this type of show. I expect it will rival Frankie Valli’s career for longevity.
At last: Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe where they deserve to be, up with George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. Charles
