Jersey Boys

One of the first shows I wanted to see when my Broadway obsession began was Jersey Boys. After years I finally got to see it!
When I sat down I was so excited. I was sitting fourth row, and I was the youngest person around me which always excites me. I also knew many of the songs in the show so I was excited to see them performed. When the show finally started I was so happy.
As the show went on, my excitement went away. I felt like I was watching an E! True Hollywood Story with some karaoke mixed in. The performers were amazing. Tony blew me away and I fell in love with him. There just seemed to be a lack of heart to the show, and it was so simple I never got that feeling that I loved it and I'd want to go back. Some parts made me smile, though, and I'm glad I saw it.
I have a few teenage friends who love the show and got me pumped up to see it, so it's not just an adult show. I have some friends who agree with me and wouldn't pay to go back. For most people my age, paying $140 or a little under for a show is nearly out of the question, and I wouldn't recommend paying that much for the show. For a teenager rush or standing room may be a good option. If a teenager is looking for a show to relate to or feel something for, I wouldn't advise seeing Jersey Boys. If a teenager is looking for possibly a good time watching some karaoke, go. There's no spectacle to the show, no big costumes or sets. So if you're into that, Jersey Boys isn't a good choice.

  1. I've seen JERSEY BOYS 4 times and love it! So sorry you didn't : (

    I have one question though, who is Tony? There is no character in JERSEY BOYS named Tony. Did you mean Tommy? : )
