Jersey Boys, a bio-musical that tells the story and uses the song catalog of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, has hit Broadway after a successful tryout at the La Jolla Playhouse. The tuner opened at the newly renamed August Wilson Theatre on November 6. William Stevenson in his Broadway.com Review: "Watch your back, Mamma Mia! A new jukebox musical has arrived on Broadway, and it's as much of a crowd-pleaser as you are. It's also a lot smarter, and it actually tells the story of the John Lloyd Young in Jersey Boys group whose music it celebrates�the Four Seasons. Slickly directed by Des McAnuff, Jersey Boys stars a bunch of talented unknowns who are making the most of their big break. They, and the show, are a knockout." Ben Brantley of The New York Times: "In a year in which one pop-songbook show after another has thudded and died, Jersey Boys passes as silver instead of as the chrome-plated jukebox that it is. Unlike the recent Broadway flops Good Vibrations (the Beach Boys show), All Shook Up (the Elvis show) and Lennon (you figure it out), Jersey Boys has the advantage of featuring singers that actually sound like the singers they are portraying and a technology-enhanced band that approximates the original sound of their music. Mr. Brickman... and Mr. Elice provide some likably sassy dialogue as they chart the evolution of their main characters from street kids in the urban wastelands of New Jersey to pop gods enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mr. McAnuff, who won a Tony for repackaging rock for Broadway in The Who's Tommy in 1993, lends clarity and crispness to a shifting narrative that lets the different Seasons tell their own sides of their story... But while Jersey Boys is based on fact, it rarely leaps over the clichés of a regulation grit-to-glamour blueprint... But once the Four Seasons classics are rolled out, every other pair of shoulders in the house starts a-twitchin'."
