| Awesome Show & CD |
My best friend and I went to see the show's tour in February. We are both in our late 20s and grew up listening to the 4 Seasons on our parents' oldies' station. So we saw the show, fell in love with it, bought the CD, and saw the show twice again. We were obsessed with the Jersey Boys the time it came to our town. John Lloyd Young's voice is so clear. The songs sound just like the 4 Seasons. Unbelieveable talent from the cast. We saw the original Broadway cast perform at Times Square on New Year's Eve 2 yrs. ago. They made us want to see the show. This CD helps relive those memories! Excellent purchase. Buy CD if you loved the show! |

| Good stuff; I'd probably appreciate it better if I'd seen the show |
Thing about buying Broadway cast recordings - they usually have both music and dialogue, which you don't quite get the significance of unless you've seen the show. And since Broadway productions in Australia are few and far between...
That said, however, the tracks on this album make for fun listening (and dancing too), and I enjoyed the cast's renditions of Four Seasons hits like Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Who Loves You, Big Girls Don't Cry, and many others, as well as John Lloyd Young's performances of Frankie Valli favourites You're Just Too Good to be True and My Eyes Adored You. It's impossible not to bop to the beats and sing along!
Fans of the group might prefer the original albums, but this recording can help introduce the best of FV and TFS to today's generation, and will be great for fans of the Broadway show.
Here's to the Jersey Boys touring down under... |
