The musical chronicles the lives of a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who went on to become one of the biggest pop music sensations of their time. Jersey Boys features their hit songs, including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," and "Oh What a Night."

Synopsis of Jersey Boys
So there's this kid, Frankie Castelluccio, and he sings like an angel. He's living in the suburbs of New Jersey, destined to be a barber, until he meets Tommy DeVito, a savvy hustler with a guitar and a vision. Tommy's the guy who can get Frankie, and himself, out of Jersey. Nick Massi, another guy with a musical gift, joins up with them, but trios are out and quartets are in. Where's the fourth man for the group? Little Joey Fishes (that's Joe Pesci - yeah, that Joe Pesci) finds him - a prodigy named Bob Gaudio. Frankie's wife Mary tells him to spell his stage name with an "i" at the end instead of a "y" (that would make it Valli) and the neon sign of the Four Seasons Lounge gives them their new name. Gaudio writes songs but can he come up with the smash hit that will give Frankie and the boys their own distinctive sound and turn them into superstars? After loads of false starts, he pens a thing that goes:
She - e - e-e-e-e-ry baby (Sherry baby)
She - e - rry, can you come out tonight
And the rest, as they say, is history. Jersey Boys tickets from JustGreatTickets.com are sure to bring you into the magic.
So how do you take a story that everybody already knows how it ends, a story that is, upon reflection, merely one overused American Entertainment Cliche right after another, and turn it into the most exciting dynamic in musical theatre? With know-how, chemistry, and love. Without all three ingredients, we get formulaic junk (or just ill-crafted junk; which is worse?), the kind of stuff that gives the Theater a very bad name. With all three, you get combustion. You get goosebump-inducing excitement. You get the stuff that memories are made of: the happy miracle that makes theater the world's showplace bar none. Jersey Boys tickets are the key to something truly special.
In the Second Act, the group has broken up, and Frankie's family has broken up too. Frankie's working hard to pay off Tommy's gambling debts, but the Four Seasons just aren't generating the hits like they used to. Gaudio's written him a solo number, but no one will record it, no one will play it, and nobody wants it. But Bob and Frankie believe in it and so, WHAM, they finally, finally get it on the radio and it goes like this:
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Does it get any better than that? Jersey Boys has redefined the word extraordinary. Don't miss getting Jersey Boys tickets for this once in a lifetime performance.
The cast performs the songs beautifully, recreating the look, the feel, the moves, the ambience of "Rag Doll" and "Walk Like a Man" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" to perfection Frankie Valli's character gets a grand musical moment, early on, doing a jazzy take on "I'm in the Mood for Love" that makes us fall in love with him right from the get-go. As the years go by in the performance, Jersey Boys tickets magically takes you on a journey with the stars. All four also act their roles with splendid assurance; they're particularly impressive aging, without much in the way of makeup or other physical accouterments, from teenagers to middle-aged men.
So, here's the bottom line: Jersey Boys is the Broadway musical we've all been waiting for - a bona fide crowd-pleasing hit with nary a drop of cynical commercialism, a show that's dazzling, entertaining fun but never makes you feel like you're being forced into submission in the process; a show that's easy to love because it's full of love. We don't get a gift like this every day, or even every season. So cherish it. And don't miss it! Get your Jersey Boys tickets today.
