Who Loves You

So I know what my friends must be wondering... how long before Krystal writes an entry about Jersey Boys.

First of all if you have not seen the show yet, then run to the nearest city by you and see it!!! ( West costers its playing in Vegas) Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (Nick Massi, Tommy DeVito, and Bob Gaudio) rise and fall from fame. Not only does it have all the hits from the Four Season catalogue but it is a story that has heart. I have seen the show three time now and would see it again and again. It is about love, the music industry, loss, the mafia, and a life long friendship based on a handshake.
Below is a clip from when the show was featured on CBS's Sunday Morning.


There is nothing like the original cast members on the soundtrack. John Lloyd Young's voice sounds just like Frankie's and will leave you breathless after hearing his version of Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You. Christian Hoff portrayal of Tommy was wonderful. Both actors won Tony's for there roles as well as the Musical winning Best Musical of 2006. I have had the honor of meeting/seeing two of the original cast members and meeting the original national tour cast members.
Below is a picture of John Lloyd Young and I (August 08)Below is a picture I took of "Shotgun Tom Kelly" meeting the boys (June 07).
Below is a video I shot when I was in NYC this past May & happen to come across the cast of Jersey Boys (including original cast member J. Robert Spencer) on the street filming a video for the Tony awards 08.


Fun Facts:Did you know that the musical has its own study guide? Click here to download it! Also there is a Jersey Boys baby CD out for sale. Click here to check it out. If you are as big a fan as I am of the show then you have to buy the book! Check it out here. Well that is all for now but trust me this is not my last blog about my boys.
