Saw Jersey Boys yesterday afternoon at the Performing Arts Center on UT campus. My family and I enjoyed the music but couldn’t understand most of the dialogue. I realize they all had “Jersey” accents but even so, we were disappointed. Funny how the profanity came through loud & clear! I thought my hearing was bad but evidently not since I notice another commenter mentioned the same problem with the sound system. You’d think paying as much for the tickets as we did that the Center would have a state-of-the art system.

I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway. All I can say it is spectacular and a must-see.

It was fun to finally see “Jersey Boys“after hearing about it so long. Not quite my generation, but my mother played her Four Seasons album over and over, and my grade school girlfriends were named Candy, Dawn, and Sherry. It was not only a musical, but a comedy, too. I found it to be very funny, especially through the first act. It was very clever how the plot was divided into the Four Seasons. I had no idea what had really gone on in the group, and I won’t give it away so that you can witness the story unfold onstage. It brings the personalities to life and makes them personal. The costumes, images, and video are especially remarkable, as are the live filming and the way the band performed to different angles on the stage. It was too funny when they were bowing to our applause, although they were facing the back of the stage! I will never think of the song “Oh what a night” the same, now that I understand the “ended way too soon” part! Very fun and enjoyable show.

I know all the words to the Four Seasons’ songs. As a baby boomer I get nostalgic and fall in love all over again when I hear their music.
