JERSEY BOYS ARE IN COLUMBUS! :)

     Jersey Boys has landed in Columbus, Ohio at the Ohio Theatre (39 E State St  Columbus, OH 43215) . The show running here until September 29th, 2013. Jersey Boys is a documentary style jukebox musical, telling the story of a group of men from what may be the wrong side of the tracks in Jersey to the limelight of success in a group that came to be known as "The Four Seasons". This group was headlined by Frankie Valli. I was fortunate enough to see the show this evening a little bit ago. Having only known a few of the songs, and just a little bit about who Frankie Valli was, I left feeling like I had befriended not just Frankie but all of the Four Seasons. 

      There were so many great numbers in the show tonight. One of my faves was sung beautifully by Nick Cosgrove who plays Frankie Valli in this touring production had to of been "My Eyes Adored You", and also "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Nick has a wonderful voice, and his fellow co-stars/cast members carry him well.  Brandon Andrus who plays Nick Massi is among them with some of the comedic parts of the show. Honestly, I could tell you guys something great that each of the men in this cast did. Truly a great cast worth seeing.

  

       This was my first time seeing the show,and I must say that I loved the sets and the lighting as well. This shows set is full of surprises but is never overbearing, so the talent is forced to really shine through. There are images displayed, and live camera actions shown - but it never takes away from the cast, or the music and I really appreciated that.

      I should also mention that since  the production opened on Broadway in 2005 it has taken 4 coveted Tony awards (One of those being BEST MUSICAL!), 2 Drama Desk Awards, and even a Grammy Award. Recently the show beat "Fiddler on the Roof" for one of the spots for longest running shows on Broadway, and with that said has a permanent set in quite a few places (including Vegas). Columbus is one of the many lucky stops on this National US tour, and tickets can be found by visiting www.capa.com.
