For folks who don't like musicals...this is not a musical. It's a fast paced play that depicts the true story of how these guys created such a unique sound & successfully survived the "British Invasion" with hit after hit. And they perform their hit songs throughout the play. You just want to get up on the stage with them and sing along.
My oldest son took me to see it in San Francisco. I LOVED IT!! The thing that I wasn't prepared for was the crowd. It was mostly very young teenagers singing and rocking through the entire thing. They knew every single lyric and it was AWESOME!
DID YOU KNOW JOE PESCI IS A ROCK AND ROLL STAR??? HIS SELF? BACK IN 58 WHEN R N R JUST BEGAN. JOE WAS IN THE LEGENDARY ROCK AND ROLL BAND JOE DEE AND THE STAR LIGHTERS THERE HIT WAS 'PEPPERMINT TWIST PERFORMING AT THE FAMOUS PEPPERMINT NITE CLUB IN N.Y.C. BACK IN 19 58 0R 59 . BUT YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. HE DOES'T TALK ABOUT IT MUCH. OR MANSION IT MUCH . JOE YOUR A CLASSIC AND A LENGEND. I DO HOPE YOU DON'T MINE ME SAYING SO JOE. BUT I HAVE SEEN YOUR SHOW AT THE PEPPERMINT CLUB. BEST REGARDS TO YOU JOE. GEORGE GOLDNER NIECE TONI CANOLIE x👍
I am a 17 year old, and I saw it in Chicago on Friday. It was simply amazing. The kid who played Frankie Valli was...indescribably phenomenal. I highly, HIGHLY recommend everyone see this play. Fantastico!
+Joy Rowe Handsome, humble, compassionate, talented in multiple art areas, killer sense of humor, bilingual (He's fluent in Spanish), athletic (brown belt in kung-fu)...what more could a girl ask for?
I grew up loving the Four Seasons, even had a friend who's dad was friends with them, and met Frankie Valli and Tommy DeVito. The night I went to see "Jersey Boys" with the original cast members was inspiring and one of the greatest moments in my life. The show actually made you feel good that you were alive to see such a show! The Four Seasons deserve so much for their music and it is about time they were recognized for their greatness!
Partner, I cried so much the first time I watched this show and I still remembered those old songs. i have watched this show four (4) times now and I think the Four Seasons with Jersey Boys and they are finally being recognized.
I've seen this musical in three different countries, with three different casts. And no one delivers the line "chasing the music: trying to get home" with the glassy eyed hope and pain that John Lloyd Young managed to muster.
Absolutely the best of all time. Saw them 3 times. It was the first musical that "Frankie" ever played on Broadway and he won the Tony and 2 other awards. I couldn't help but think how he debuts his first time and is #1. No matter where or when he will always have that. I also saw him as his in Atlantic City and he was amazing 👏 😍
@@terrijarrell3723 John comes across as a very sweet, sentimental, deep-thinking guy. I've seen a couple of his interviews, and I feel like I could listen to him talk for hours on-end, without ever getting bored. (9/24/2021)
Just saw the show. As a radio DJ who's played all these songs for so many years, what a fantastic show! I agree with those who say by the middle of Act 1, you want just get on stage and sing with them. A very realistic look at what the music business was like in the 60's. And a great tribute to one of the great vocal groups of our time.
i love Jersey Boys...my parents and I are HUGE fans of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons so when we went to see it, it was so amazing to glance over at my dad and he was mouthing along to EVERY SINGLE ONE of the songs because he knew them all... most of the performances gave me chills and this show deserved best musical of 2006
...the segment "Who Loves You" - I find it overwhelming, the way they sang and danced, kinda brings tears to my eyes. I saw "Jersey Boys" twice. It's the kind of show one would want to see over and over again. Bring it on with John Lloyd Young, who has one of the silkiest voice in the business. If you're a 60's buff, you have to see this musical, it's one you'll never forget.
No need to be a 60’s buff to enjoy the great talent of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons or Jersey Boys because great talent and entertainment are always needed.
I saw the final show in NYC a few weeks ago and even being 30 year old guy, I cried watching the finale. Amazing show, amazing music and choreography, absolutely stunning.
At the beginning when Frankie, Bob, Joe and Tommy come out on stage Bob looks like a giant! I have to say that I loved the travelling show when it came through and even though the movie wasn't everything the stage show is, it did capture the overall feeling of the stage show and was very enjoyable.
I FINALLY got to see the Broadway play in the City on Sat (May 23, 2015) 10 yrs waiting for this moment. My kids all chipped in & got me tickets. It was one of the greatest nights of my life. I already want to go back!!
Donna Marie I was actually a little sad that John Lloyd Young wasn't the Frankie I'd get to see live. I'd seen him in every interview, clip, post for 10 years. But I'll tell ya... this new guy they've got... he's AMAZING!! His name is Joseph Leo Bwarie & he's outstanding. I had 3rd row seats right in the middle of the aisle & NOBODY sitting in front of me. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
Donna Marie That's who my family and I saw a few years ago. Everyone was fantastic but J.L.B.'s performance was...just wow...during CTMEOOY, he got a standing ovation that lasted a good minute or so. He looked very touched.
I saw Jersey Boys on Norwegian Bliss in Oct 2022. The songs brought tears to my eyes, it was overwhelming seeing them sing hit after hit. It must be surreal for them to perform in front of the 4 Seasons.
not usually a big fan of musicals/plays.... but this show simply blew me away! The moment it ended I was depressed because I wanted it to start over again immediately.
my grandmother works in the theater they are playing jersey boys in here in nyc...i saw the show this weekend for the first time and let me tell you 2 things...They pinned Jersey down to a tee!!! and second....the man who played frankie when i was there is the best in the world!!! his range was incredible and his emotion on stage had me on the edge of my seat!!! i cant wait to go back again
I'm a classic rock and metal guitarist at 42 this is my Grandparents music and I think it's the best, skill. feeling, heart. Brings tears to my eyes. I miss my Grandparents. Uncles Aunts. I wish I could take them to see Jersey boys.
i remember john lloyd young as a member of his high school track team. i coached at another school in the area. next time i saw him was in nyc.....................fantastic.
Jarrod is one of the most underrated voices on Broadway. It was amazing to see all that footage of his childhood, what a tribute. He’s probably the best vocally to grace the part of Frankie in Jersey Boys. His tone and his control with both the falsetto and the chest voice is unmatched.
This was the night I first saw any of the show, and I knew I HAD to see it. Finally, on July 29th of this year, I SAW IT!! What a fabulous show!! Nobody ever had, or will have, the sound of the Four Seasons.
I so regret that I did not get to see this original company. Two Tony awards in that line-up of four actors at the end. I was visiting NYC when it was in previews. A friend told me, "Do not miss this. It is going to rule Broadway for the next year." And he was right. I did see the national tour--and it truly was extraordinary. Not just a jukebox musical. The book of the show is incredible. It is one of the most perfect pieces of musical theatre I have ever seen. Not an untrue moment the entire time.
The Jersey Boys and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are the best of the best rock and roll performers of all time I am, and I joined your music I love singing to them and dancing to them and they're still awesome thank you for winning the Tony Awards you deserve it.
I never get tired of listening to JLY. When he sings it takes me back to my amazing days of my younger life & for awhile I live those days all over again. It is just something magical.
That last part... With the guy who plays Frankie talking about how he's trying to get home, and then he starts singing and all the other Seasons come on... That part makes me cry. So beautiful.
Saw Jersey Boys in New York on Saturday night. John Lloyd Young was supposed to play Frankie, but we got Dominic Scaglione, Jr. He was amazing. The whole show was amazing. Best show I have ever seen.
I don't recall the cast but I saw it on Broadway with my mom and aunt. It was a great show from begining to end. Everyone in the theather was on their feet singing and dancing.. This is was a great night
God, i loved this musical, i just saw it on sunday and man, i was just blown away! I couldnt stop clapping after the finale and the whole crowd was on their feet, it felt like it went on for like 10 minutes,lol
I saw these amazing actors on Broadway more than 5 years ago, and now Jersey Boys is finally touring Asia with a terrific South African cast. Can't wait to see them at the Marina Bay Sands next week! :D
@@arleneiardella9217 I know, right? They also do a subtle nod to "Goodfellas", when he goes to Bob's house to pick him up: "Funny, how?" I smiled when I saw that part for the first time, not only because I recognized the line, but also because I remembered that "Goodfellas", itself, contains a reference to Frankie. (9/24/2021)
Jersey Boys is my favorite musical. I got to see it on broadway in May 2009 and it was absolutely amazing! Every time I see this clip I get goosebumps- its soo good!
Jersey Boys was amazing on Broadway i would love to go see it again. They did a great job with the movie. I was really impressed and had a lot of fun watching it.
WOW WOW WOW -----just bought the dvd e few weeks ago -- can't get enough -- love this movie soooo much --thanks for posting this - it makes it easier to understand what the play probably was like -- thanks to clint eastwood for such a great idea -- who would have thought this would be such a great movie -- thank you frankie valli ( with an i ) and the four seasons for so many years of great songs and thanks to whole cast on broadway and especially this movie !!!!!!!!
I showed my mom (who happens to be a baby-boomer, born in '57) this clip, & she actually got a little choked up. She's sentimental to a fault, same as I am.
Danielle Musella As far as falsettos go, you have to listen to early Lou Christie (“Lightnin’ Strikes”). He could give Frankie Valli a run for the money.
I saw this show for the first time on Tour in Dallas and fell in love with it instantly. I just love the finale number so much! It makes me feel so happy and like everything's gonna work out :)
John Lloyd Young will always be the best Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys to me, and I've seen 13 different Frankie's so far. He was even better the second time around when he returned to the show during the summer 2012. There is so much power in his voice, and no one even comes close to his acting. Wow! I wish he would do another special engagement...soon!
Wow , what a wonderful time to be alive to experience this revival of the Four Seasons music I just got home from the movie and going to see the Broadway show again in December .
Was in Vegas and Jersey Boys was the first time I saw the show. I was so hooked! Then years later in Houston. And finally in Austin. Also saw the Frankie Valli show in Austin. Just can’t get enough of them 😎. I would see them again if the show were revived. The first time I heard of the Four Seasons was the ‘60s and I’m a senior now, they have the magic making me feel young again. Love them so much!
Well you'll probably get a chance to see the movie first, but when you get the chance to see the show, you MUST SEE IT. It is amazing and even though the movie looks amazing and has a lot of the guys from the Broadway show and touring companies, no movie can ever be as good as seeing it live on Broadway!
I agree. See the stage production first. The movie was okay, but the stage version is WAY better IMO. Had I seen the movie first, I'm not sure I would have wanted to see the stage production. The movie was kind of slow at times (especially at the beginning) and seemed more story-driven (with music to back it up), rather than music driven with a story behind the music.
I agree with Natasha and Trojan. Try to see the musical first. I saw it in NYC and it was amazing. Great actors and voices. It helped me to make the movie more enjoyable, otherwise I would have found it too slow at some point.
I have seen Jersey Boys 11 Times, from New York to Calgary. & I was set to see them a 12th when they went dark. It’s the most AMAZING show & I would see them anywhere. You cry, you laugh & you dance. Anywhere…
John Lloyd Young failed to carry the film version. The film didn't get an Oscar nomination for anything. It really bombed. Young needed the other 3 Jersey Boys from the original Broadway show. The Broadway show won the Tony for best musical, the Grammy for best musical recording, and the Laurence Olivier Award for best musical. So the Broadway show was much greater quality than the film and was much more successful than the film.
John Lloyd Young isn't singing up there by himself by any means. He needed the other 3 original Jersey Boys to carry him. All 3 of the other Jersey boys have formal vocal training in music. Ironically, Young doesn't have any formal musical training and originally wasn't cast in the pre-Broadway run of the show, while the other 3 were. Frankie Valli's rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" is superior to that of John Lloyd Young.
@@killerbees312 John Lloyd Young doesn't need anyone to carry him,he holds his own up there,no he didn't play in the pre- broadway cast but was in the Broadway show as Frankie Valli for 2 yrs,he also played at the West end and got asked back to broadway to reprise his role which led to being cast in the movie, so John Lloyd Young needs no one to carry him he does very well by himself ! He also plays concerts in Las Vegas,not bad for someone with no formal musical training that needs to be carried is it?
last week i saw the show in chicago during my holidays, I got de Jersey Boys cd and I play it over and over. Great show, they really are "just too good to be true"
I saw the show “Jersey Boys” in Vegas and it was fabulous, and I am a guy that doesn’t like musicals. Since then I have seen the touring version TWICE. And the movie too! I’d see it again if the opportunity came around. Thank you Frankie and Bob Gaudio.
far and away one of the best musicals of all time! Yes my favorite seen it four times , and will see it several more times .Like being at a concert for sure , touches your soul and makes you go back in time to a less complicated time in life!!!
I can't believe I did not see this while I was in Vegas, damn. I saw the movie and LOVED IT. Had heard this song all my life and never new it was the four season LMAO..... John did an amazing JOB in the movie....
The film really bombed, not even getting one Oscar nomination, while the original Broadway show, on which the film was based, won the Tony for best musical, won the Grammy for best musical recording, and won the Laurence Olivier Award for best musical as well. The film wasn't even nominated for any major award.
I saw The Midtown Men last September. They're the original members of Jersey Boys. They were so amazing and after the show I got an autograph from them and a kiss from J. Robert Spencer who played Nick Massi in the play. It was the most fantastic night I'd ever had!
OMG how nerve wracking to have Frankie Bobbie and Tommy there and perform...and he nails it 100%...thanks for uploading. Does anyone know if/where I can find a copy of The Four Seasons induction to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 1990?
i thoroughly enjoyed it!!! That music will live for ever and the cast was just great specially Frankie...sang perfect and looked so handsome...!!! I was not going to miss it...I am a Music Lover and those old songs are definitely "Good Music" Leticia ~
I saw this Show 5 times.Twice on Broadway. 3 Time off Broadway. it's never the Same performance. I love Frankie's first person Dialogue. it's so Sweet. I haven't seen the Movie yet.
I have been wanting to see this since its inception. But I was a brand new single Mom of an infant and then time just escaped us... I am so happy for you that you seized this incredible opportunity, 3x!! I have never been drawn to musicals, but something about this one just makes you feel totally uplifted- the music, the energy, the rags to riches kind of story and a beautifully orchestrated production of immense talent. 🤩🤩🤩
For folks who don't like musicals...this is not a musical. It's a fast paced play that depicts the true story of how these guys created such a unique sound & successfully survived the "British Invasion" with hit after hit. And they perform their hit songs throughout the play. You just want to get up on the stage with them and sing along.
My BFF got Tix for us to go in my birthday and Pesci and Valli sat across from us. So cool
My oldest son took me to see it in San Francisco. I LOVED IT!! The thing that I wasn't prepared for was the crowd. It was mostly very young teenagers singing and rocking through the entire thing. They knew every single lyric and it was AWESOME!
Saw it on London twice.. one of my favourites without a doubt ❤
,4 times a magic sho🥁🎸w fab music🎹🎼🎸
I still can't believe Joe Pesci was part of putting the Four Seasons together!!! "Tommy it's a sign", love it all, just pure magic!!!
Aurora Alvarez and was a Wet Bandit too
Pesci introduced Bob Gaudio to the band

I watched the movie for the first time a year ago and thought the same thing! Always loved Joe, new fan for the Seasons.
Aurora Alvarez They were all neighborhood friends and Joe Pesci had a strong intuition👍🎶❤️
I am a 17 year old, and I saw it in Chicago on Friday. It was simply amazing. The kid who played Frankie Valli was...indescribably phenomenal. I highly, HIGHLY recommend everyone see this play. Fantastico!
Omg your 30 now! 😭

Omg you're 32 now
Wow, you have amazing turn of phrase! Thoroughly enjoyed reading and digesting your comment. 😇👍

I grew up loving the Four Seasons, even had a friend who's dad was friends with them, and met Frankie Valli and Tommy DeVito. The night I went to see "Jersey Boys" with the original cast members was inspiring and one of the greatest moments in my life. The show actually made you feel good that you were alive to see such a show!
The Four Seasons deserve so much for their music and it is about time they were recognized for their greatness!
I saw the show, and it.was 👌 fanulous.
Partner, I cried so much the first time I watched this show and I still remembered those old songs. i have watched this show four (4) times now and I think the Four Seasons with Jersey Boys and they are finally being recognized.
Frankie getting that small role on Sopranos was just awesome. He made the most of every scene hes in
I took my mom to see this on Broadway... What an experience. I don't think anyone walked away disappointed. the music is great and timeless
I've seen this musical in three different countries, with three different casts. And no one delivers the line "chasing the music: trying to get home" with the glassy eyed hope and pain that John Lloyd Young managed to muster.
oh yes he was the best and only Toni winner of all the Frankies
He's my favorite Frankie.
Absolutely the best of all time. Saw them 3 times. It was the first musical that "Frankie" ever played on Broadway and he won the Tony and 2 other awards.

You might as well plan now because Jersey Boys is leaving Broadway this January after an 11 year run
Absolutely loved the Jersey Boys I grew up with their beautiful music. ❤♥️❤♥️
Love this clip! Just saw Jersey Boys directed & produced by Clint Eastwood! It was marvellous! All the songs were great!
Love the 4 seasons see in concert twice and the play 3 times love Frankie
Those voices at the ending note. Are just beautiful. Perfect. I just can't handle how good it is.

totally in love with john young! Especially those eyes! He makes a VERY attractive Frankie Valli!
He was amazing in the movie and when I saw this on broadway john was still in it :)
He is my broadway crush
Grew up listening to their music. Even sweeter now that the show brought out the back story.
That last part... With the guy who plays Frankie talking about how he's trying to get home, and then he starts singing and all the other Seasons come on... That part makes me cry. So beautiful.
I love the fact that these guys never forgot Nick Massi!
Two close friends of mine, John stefan & Sal Piccolo played trumpet and toured with that great group....
So glad I got to see this on Broadway 2 years ago! Amazing!!

As much I love John Lloyd Young in Jersey Boys, Both movie and show, the way he looks reminds me of Michael Scott from The Office sometimes..
HazardousRighteousness I can't not see it now 🤦🏻♀️

John Lloyd Young is very talented and he brought a lot of talent to that performance. I love John Lloyd Young!
It doesn't matter how old or young you are..... Its an amazing cast.....
Saw the movie last summer and the movie last night. Both were great but the musical will always come out on top. Such legends!
Saw the movie last night. Surprised when they mentioned Joe Pecsi in the movie. Didn't know he was involved
Mywork777 they do. The bowling scene when he’s working

This is why my 4th time for this fab musical, September, Piccadilly Theatre London, thanks for the music fellows,
I showed my mom (who happens to be a baby-boomer, born in '57) this clip, & she actually got a little choked up. She's sentimental to a fault, same as I am.
I was born in ‘53. The Four Seasons were a big part of my young years, and playing their music today brings back some really great memories.

John Lloyd Young will always be the best Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys to me, and I've seen 13 different Frankie's so far. He was even better the second time around when he returned to the show during the summer 2012. There is so much power in his voice, and no one even comes close to his acting. Wow! I wish he would do another special engagement...soon!
Yes the four of them were great they did the Four Seasons proud
Wow , what a wonderful time to be alive to experience this revival of the Four Seasons music
I just got home from the movie and going to see the Broadway show again in December .
Was in Vegas and Jersey Boys was the first time I saw the show. I was so hooked! Then years later in Houston. And finally in Austin. Also saw the Frankie Valli show in Austin. Just can’t get enough of them 😎. I would see them again if the show were revived. The first time I heard of the Four Seasons was the ‘60s and I’m a senior now, they have the magic making me feel young again. Love them so much!
The world is a much better place with the talent`s of the Italian`s and Irish musicians.
I saw the Musical in 2013 and also at June 2015,I love it,Best Musical!!!
I've wanted to see this ever since I was a kid. Now that I'm old enough to go it's going to be a movie. I don't know which I should see first.
Well you'll probably get a chance to see the movie first, but when you get the chance to see the show, you MUST SEE IT. It is amazing and even though the movie looks amazing and has a lot of the guys from the Broadway show and touring companies, no movie can ever be as good as seeing it live on Broadway!
I agree. See the stage production first. The movie was okay, but the stage version is WAY better IMO. Had I seen the movie first, I'm not sure I would have wanted to see the stage production. The movie was kind of slow at times (especially at the beginning) and seemed more story-driven (with music to back it up), rather than music driven with a story behind the music.
I agree with Natasha and Trojan. Try to see the musical first. I saw it in NYC and it was amazing. Great actors and voices. It helped me to make the movie more enjoyable, otherwise I would have found it too slow at some point.
Get Broadway first! I saw them 2 times, they are damn good.This kid, in a way, is a bit better then Frankie.
viktoryia kourbatskaia I feel the same way! I listen to the sound track all the time. I like it better than the original recordings.
I have seen Jersey Boys 11
Times, from New York to Calgary. & I was set to see them a 12th when they went dark. It’s the most AMAZING show & I would see them anywhere. You cry, you laugh & you dance.
Anywhere…
That was spectacular! Nicely done and most likely couldn't have been done better.
John Lloyd Young is amazing
John Lloyd Young failed to carry the film version. The film didn't get an Oscar nomination for anything. It really bombed. Young needed the other 3 Jersey Boys from the original Broadway show. The Broadway show won the Tony for best musical, the Grammy for best musical recording, and the Laurence Olivier Award for best musical. So the Broadway show was much greater quality than the film and was much more successful than the film.
John Lloyd Young isn't singing up there by himself by any means. He needed the other 3 original Jersey Boys to carry him. All 3 of the other Jersey boys have formal vocal training in music. Ironically, Young doesn't have any formal musical training and originally wasn't cast in the pre-Broadway run of the show, while the other 3 were. Frankie Valli's rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" is superior to that of John Lloyd Young.
no fucking shit
@@killerbees312 John Lloyd Young doesn't need anyone to carry him,he holds his own up there,no he didn't play in the pre- broadway cast but was in the Broadway show as Frankie Valli for 2 yrs,he also played at the West end and got asked back to broadway to reprise his role which led to being cast in the movie, so John Lloyd Young needs no one to carry him he does very well by himself ! He also plays concerts in Las Vegas,not bad for someone with no formal musical training that needs to be carried is it?
@@debidedeeli1685 Loved his performance!
last week i saw the show in chicago during my holidays, I got de Jersey Boys cd and I play it over and over. Great show, they really are "just too good to be true"
Whatever.... are you guys seriously complaining? HES IN THE JERSEY BOYS MOVIE...... It is IDENTICAL
Lara Mirgorod no it’s not!
And Toni award fking good for Lloyd as Frankie
I saw the show “Jersey Boys” in Vegas and it was fabulous, and I am a guy that doesn’t like musicals. Since then I have seen the touring version TWICE. And the movie too! I’d see it again if the opportunity came around. Thank you Frankie and Bob Gaudio.
I watched the movie today and now I’m here. John is so good as Frankie ugh 😍
It’s been six years since I have watched it
Just saw this show in Baltimore for its closing weekend in Maryland!!!
It was fantastic. BEST SHOW EVER!!!!
Saw him in December he was friggin awesome.
Friggin?
far and away one of the best musicals of all time! Yes my favorite seen it four times , and will see it several more times .Like being at a concert for sure , touches your soul and makes you go back in time to a less complicated time in life!!!
I have the biggest crush on John Lloyd Young right now. Lol
lolin11222 Have you heard his album?? it is amazing
lolin11222 Oh my God, I do too!!
Jesse V Coffey Me too!!!
He is brilliantly talented. Wow.
lolin11222 Me too girl! His short self but he can belt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw this in london, Best show i have ever seen! Only a mater of time before it becomes a film..
I can't believe I did not see this while I was in Vegas, damn. I saw the movie and LOVED IT. Had heard this song all my life and never new it was the four season LMAO..... John did an amazing JOB in the movie....
Go see the play. The movie was more about the story, but the play was more about the music (but also the story).
I like both versions equally but I have to agree with you on that.
The film really bombed, not even getting one Oscar nomination, while the original Broadway show, on which the film was based, won the Tony for best musical, won the Grammy for best musical recording, and won the Laurence Olivier Award for best musical as well. The film wasn't even nominated for any major award.
@@killerbees312 great movie
In my opinion, the greatest group ever, they changed my life! Viva Italia!
Just classic, fantastic music…. Never to be repeated sadly
I almost didn't go to see this.
I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely brilliant. They were just incredible.
Bob Gaudio is a genius ❤❤❤
I saw The Midtown Men last September. They're the original members of Jersey Boys. They were so amazing and after the show I got an autograph from them and a kiss from J. Robert Spencer who played Nick Massi in the play. It was the most fantastic night I'd ever had!
OMG how nerve wracking to have Frankie Bobbie and Tommy there and perform...and he nails it 100%...thanks for uploading. Does anyone know if/where I can find a copy of The Four Seasons induction to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 1990?
i thoroughly enjoyed it!!! That music will live for ever and the cast was just great specially Frankie...sang perfect and looked so handsome...!!! I was not going to miss it...I am a Music Lover and those old songs are definitely "Good Music" Leticia ~
I saw this show in atlanta 2009 great show
My parents saw it in Chicago. They loved it. Now I'm listening to the soundtrack, and I love it even more.
I agree. I saw it Christmas night in NYC. Can't wait to see it again!
I love John loyd young’s voice he really is the only person I can listen to to play franki valli
I share the same sentiment
He’s the only one that can portray Frankie Valli
@@jonahrosales14
I take it that means you liked the movie, then?
@@jonahrosales14 coming from someone who saw him and a few others play Frankie---that's not true
Me too they all were great
I saw this Show 5 times.Twice on Broadway. 3 Time off Broadway. it's never the Same performance. I love Frankie's first person Dialogue. it's so Sweet. I haven't seen the Movie yet.
You should. It never fails to pick me up, whenever I'm in a rough spot.
Their all great but John is so awesome, cute a great singer.love him movie was fantastic saw it 6 times.
The original Broadway cast has always been the best Jersey Boys!
Would have been cool for them to reunite for the movie version two years ago. Luckily we had John Lloyd Young
Frankie himself said that the British cast was actually the best once in an interview
i saw this show on January 11th 3rd row center orchestra....most incredible thing i've seen in my entire life.
I just saw it in London on March 4th.. It was fantastic!!
We saw a national tour of this in Houston. Amazing show!
I saw the national tour in Costa Mesa. I agree
Finally saw it last night. As good as advertised. Music was phenomenal.
A MUST SEE! A truly good fact based movie! I've seen it at least 3 times.
I have been wanting to see this since its inception. But I was a brand new single Mom of an infant and then time just escaped us... I am so happy for you that you seized this incredible opportunity, 3x!! I have never been drawn to musicals, but something about this one just makes you feel totally uplifted- the music, the energy, the rags to riches kind of story and a beautifully orchestrated production of immense talent. 🤩🤩🤩
@@LisaLisa-2023 Exactly! Not to mention the stuff of great friendships! Glad you like it, too!
