The Jersey Boys

WOW -- that sums up the show. We caught the later show at 9:30pm last night and it was awesome. First of all, we paid for the cheap seats, which were cool because even though they were high up, they were right in the center. We sat there for less than 5 minutes and they moved us down a lot farther into the more expensive seats. You can't beat that. The show was great and I'm really glad we saw it. When The Jersey Boys began touring in 2006, we were getting ready to move, so I figured I'd never see them.

For those who don't know, the Jersey Boys show is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They did all their great songs like "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "My Eyes Adored You", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Working My Way Back to You", "Fallen Angel", and more. I didn't know that Bob Gaudio, who joined the Four Seasons last, wrote most of their songs, including previous songs like "Short Shorts". The show was neat because it wasn't just about their music. It was how they went from the streets of Jersey into the music industry. It showed how certain songs were created because of what was going on around them at the time. Good stuff -- definitely worth seeing. Rick won $250 on a Wheel-of-Fortune slot at our hotel last night, so that was pretty cool. I think today we're headed back up the Strip, so hopefully I can catch you up later. Right now I'm fighting with my internet connection, so I better end this for now. Hugs to Nichelle, Nicole, Nathan & Neil!
