Vegas Jersey Boys–The BEST Show in Town!

May 12th, 2008

Jerry Fink of the Las Vegas Sun notes that the ink was still drying on his driver’s license when he first heard “Sherry,” the song that ignited the career of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It was late at night in the summer of 1962 on the shoulder of some rural, two-lane road that wound through the back country of Northern California.

According to Fink, “Jersey Boys” at the Palazzo brought back a rush of memories, good and bad — just as it did for the original Four Seasons when the play was being put together. Watching the musical, it was interesting to see the group’s back story, a story that involved, among other things, beer and lying. Maybe that’s why the Seasons struck a chord with fans in the ’60s and were so successful.

But “Jersey Boys” is more than a stroll down memory lane. It is the perfect blend of music, story and acting. Hands down, it’s the best show in town.

  2. Good job, Jerry. Kathy J. & I ran into Jerry’s girlfriend Saturday morning before opening night at the nail salon. We started chatting when her ears perked up at the magical words “Jersey Boys”. Kathy & I filled her in all the wonderfulness that is Jersey Boys. I then saw her again when exiting the theater after the performance and asked if her companion liked the show and she said, “He loved it”. It’s so easy to add new fans. Go Jersey Boys!!
