"Jersey Boys" is a Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane – Theater Pizzazz

Theater review by Adam Cohen…“What are you going to see?” asks my daughter as I make my way towards Paper Mill Playhouse – a theater in Millburn, New Jersey she happens to love.“Jersey Boys.A musical.”“What’s it about?”“A band of singers that made it big in the 1960s and struggled due to hubris, greed, youth.And they are all from New Jersey.True story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.”“What did they sing?”“What didn’t they sing? Big Girls Don’t Cry.Sherry.Walk Like A Man.December 1963 (Oh What A Night.”“Enjoy.”She hangs up.At 19, she veers more towards Taylor Swift than the vibrant tunes of the Four Seasons.Her youth can be excused for a lack of musical education.Now playing through November 3rd, Paper Mill’s production of “Jersey Boys” directed by Michael Bello, perfectly captures the times and tensions of the renowned Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.If you’re not a Four Seasons aficionado, this is a show full of “Oh, did they write that?!” moments…
