Comments on: Jersey Boys Chicago Ends on a High Note! http://jerseyboysblog.com/jersey-boys-chicago-ends-on-a-high-note/4319 Dedicated to Jersey Boys, the Tony Award-winning smash hit Broadway & international musical of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

For a lifetime 4 Seasons’ fan, it was like reliving my earlier years through their wonderful music. My kids and grandkids were immersed in 4 Seasons music and having Frankie hold of my daughter’s hands and singing “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” to her when she was just seven (now 23) at a concert at the Star Plaza in Merrillville, IN and then kissing her hand at the conclusion made her a fan for life. Frankie kissed one of my grand daughter’s hands at a recent Chicago concert and another 4 Seasons fan was born. But the wonderful Chicago Jersey Boy cast(s) made all the memories come alive again with special thanks to Jon Michael Dias for a wonderful portrayal of Frankie. We had the opportunity to meet them at a luncheon with Frankie and the JB cast last year and realized what great guys they were. Can’t wait until they are “working their way back to us” here in Chicago. Thanks again Rick, Marshall, Frankie, Bob, Nick and Tommy!

Even though this event should not have taken place in a city that is supposed to be one of the greatest in the nation, it was the best show ever held here in Chicago (and I’ve seen quite a few, including Wicked). The cast really outdid themselves to make this the most memorable and emotional show for everyone. Maybe some day they will reunite here and we can have another “Grand Re-Opening”.

Thank you one and all of the cast of Jersey Boys from the beginning (October 6, 2007) to the finale (January 10, 2010) and thank you Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman for such a wonderful and memorable experience. Good luck in all your endeavors.

P.S.: I’m still in tears.
