JB National Tour Sensational in St. Louis!
May 14th, 2011The first review of the JERSEY BOYS national tour production has been posted and it’s fantastic! Here’s a preview:
The great thing about JERSEY BOYS is that if you are like me (music deficient), you will still instantly recognize nearly half the songs on the soundtrack. If you grew up loving the music by them, then you are going to have a blast. The music is great throughout the entire show. Joseph Leo Bwarie is fantastic as Frankie Valle. All four stars do a great job, but Bwarie really shines.The other component I really loved about the show was how fast it was. Supporting characters wheel sets on and off while lead characters never break dialogue. There are no pauses for scene changes. There are no moments where the lights dim down. The show just keeps moving on with so many songs sprinkled throughout that it’s nearly impossible for you to stop and think to even look at your watch.
I had heard from people that had seen JERSEY BOYS that I “had to see itâ€, “I actually went out and bought the soundtrack which I never doâ€, “it’s so much funâ€. Well now I am one of those people. If you are debating about whether or not to go see this then stop thinking too much and go. Don’t wait til it comes back to town again (if it does). It will result in you having a great night at the theater.
