Jersey Boys–A True Theater Experience in Vegas!
May 6th, 2008Joe Brown of the Las Vegas Sun states that Jersey Boys provides a true theater experience. It’s the first show at the Palazzo, and it fits neatly in its custom-built theater with a retro-looking lobby and bars. There are a few Broadway-style touches: the performers’ names are posted in the lobby, there’s a real Playbill, and — a rarity in Vegas — an eight-minute intermission.
The show might be nicknamed “Dreamboys†— much like “Dreamgirls,†it’s a zippy trip through the four-decade rise and rise and fall and rise of a classic pop group. Funny, sentimental, and most of all fast…But the show devotes tender loving care to the music, and that’s what it’s all about.
According to Brown, Jersey Boys has the snap and crackle of a perfect pop song. If this show doesn’t make it in Las Vegas, it’s hard to imagine what could.
