“The New York version did not have as much profanity. ”

Ah, yes it did. And does.

There are warnings EVERYWHERE.

I loved the show. THis had to be the best show I ever saw at the Playhouse. I though Joseph Leo Bwarie and Andrew Rannells were fabulous. The only thing I did not care for was how much profanity there was with young kids in the audience. I grew up in the 60s and do not remember all that kind of talk back then. The New York version did not have as much profanity.

I saw Jersey Boys in Cleveland and it was absolutely amazing! I love going to the theater and can honestly say this was one of the best shows I have ever seen. The whole cast was excellent, but I particularly liked Joseph Leo Bwarie as Franki Valli. He gave a great performance and really captured the sound of Frankie when he sang. The only bad part about it that I don’t think I’ll be able to go again before the show leaves Cleveland. I loved this show and would highly recommend it to anyone.

JB in Cleveland has been stupendous. I went the first Tuesday and we gave several standing ovations. People were dancing in the aiels during thwe last 2 numbers.
I have since3 listewned to the original 4 seasons and much prefer the JB. Joseph Leo Bwarie and Andrew Rannells gave wonderfully warm , enthusiatic performances. I went with friends as a season ticket holder. Then bewcame a friend of Playhouse square so I could get 2 more tickets and took my Mom. The musical appeals to a wide range of age groups. My young neighbors went also at my urging and were singing the tunes next day. I had forgotten how much of the 4 seasons influenced my music preferences during those days. I must point out that Andrew Rannells gives the best performance. It is fresh, poignant, looks real and present every time. I am a frequent theater attendee and I believe this guy is going places great! Teriffic voice and song ability as well.

I saw the matinee today in Cleveland. I was lucky enough to see the original cast in NYC as well. Its a very, very nice touring production. I was shocked as the standing ovation lasted well over five minutes (to about a 90-95% full house, for a Saturday matinee).
