I agree they are tough on everything and are pretty notorious, especially on anything ‘American’. In some ways there’s a little bias. I remembered reading one article mentioning that Jersey Boys is too American for a British audience. But I hope the British audiences can see beyond that. It’s a wonderful story of the Four Season’s rise to fame, their rough times and struggles, and how they faced their challenges and succeeded through the years. Something that many musical groups and rock bands should take note of! Jersey Boys has a great combination: great story, great themes, and great music! It’s too bad that these critics are too blind to see it that way!

The London press are tough on everything including Jersey Boys. Hard to predict this one??? Frankie’s boys are adorable. That guy is a class act!

In my opinion, yes JB will succeed in London. Overall, though, good reviews. As for some negativity from a couple of critics, I had already expected that especially coming from some of the British press. The most important thing though is what the audience thinks and from what I’ve been reading through readers comments, they’ve given Jersey Boys a lot of praise. Not to mention, from the Daily Express, the audience gave a standing ovation last night.
