Although it squarely falls in the "jukebox musical" category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of ill-fated peers, and the actors can shine without having to bend backward to accommodate an inane book. The show's most (only) daring move is to start with a hip-hop-tinged French-language version of "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)," an actual hit in France in 2000. After that it's all VH1-biopic territory, but it's done with so much flair, taste and energy that the ride's a fun one. The Four Seasons had enough hits ("Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," etc.) to easily fill an evening at the theater, so it's left to the cast to do right by them. And it does, particularly John Lloyd Young as the band¹s star lead, Frankie Valli. Young hits all the falsetto notes and brings real freshness to the part. His "Can¹t Take My Eyes Off You," a second-act peak, is signed, sealed and delivered with a star's acumen. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Album Description
Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their own identity, and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.

 You've got to see it! November 18, 2009
Patricia Bird (West Palm Beach, FL USA)
I went to see the Jersey Boys on stage, and I just loved the show. I ordered the CD so I could enjoy the music at home. (I had done the same thing with both the stage and screen versions of Mama Mia! and really enjoyed the CDs at home.)
What I realized is that the thrill of Jersey Boys is watching the action on the stage, the synchronization of the movements. The CD is good, but to really enjoy it, you got to see it.
 Great Memento of the Show and the Music November 16, 2009
Byron McClanahan
Great CD and great music! The narrative from the musical enhances the CD because it tells enough of the story to recall the play with all of the great musical numbers. Had it for one month and have been listening to it every day!
 Just not very good October 27, 2009
S. V. Griep (USA)
We had seen the Jersey Boys on TV and could not wait to get their CD as we love the oldies. They sang them all so well on the TV show too. The CD has some good tracks on it but way too much talking and just is not a very good CD. If they make one with just them singing the oldies we would be first in line to buy it. This CD is a huge disappointment and just not what we hoped for.....
 Jersey Boys October 8, 2009
E. B. Skop (Boston, MA)
I purchased the CD right after I saw the play as part of a national tour. I loved the music and wanted to be able to play it at any time. The music brings back a lot of memories and having seen the play, it has more meaning now that I know the story/history of The Four Seasons. But even if you have not seen the play, you will enjoy the music.
Great Show Great Music September 17, 2009

If you enjoy the timeless sound and music of the Four Seasons. This CD is a must for your collection. Each time I play it I get more out of each song.
