Jersey Boys

The theater itself was nice but Jersey boys were so sexist from the beginning, it was cringeworthy - unfortunately we forgot this is supposed to be USA in the 60’ - the women barely speak and when they do they sound like children and say something really stupid, then men tell them of course to be quiet. The women are often half naked while men are fully dressed (first song and later as well). They are portrayed as sex symbols or sex trophy of the men, then there is comparison of women to a car in sexual context - really just embarrassing. The main character is violent (it’s supposed to be funny) and very cocky (I guess typical “alpha” male). Unfortunately we left after first half, the story really must be rewritten to match up with current times otherwise it’s just cringey. The men singing were nice though.

My wife and I went to see The Jersey Boys on Dec. 1, 2017 at The Lincoln Center in Ft. Collins. There was so much profanity that we left during the performance. I expected a minimal amount of profanity but once they used the F word, it came out a lot.

That combined along with everything was pre-recorded and I don't believe any actual sounds whatsoever, came from the stage, was just a bad "performance".

I have been to many high school plays that I would rate extremely higher than this trash.

Went to see he show Mar 3 , the person playing Frankie valle was the most charismatic actor I hav seen in a long while! his voice his moves were incredible, especially when he sang Cant Take My Eyes Off You, was just brilliant and deserved the standing ovation he received.

I shall be looking out for him again if he does tour with the same show as I enjoyed it so much.

Great entertaing show even third time around. Talented cast.

P's. Smelly ladies toilet. Let's down rest of the theatre.

VERY ENTERTAINING WITH GREAT CASTING IT AMAZES ME HOW EASTWOOD NAILED THE ESSENCE OF THE TIME AND LOCATION ALTHOUGH HE COMES FROM A WORLD APART. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT TO FRIENDS, MAYBE NOT TO PRE-TEEN CHILDREN. GREAT PORTRAYAL OF WHERE I CAME FROM AND THE DESIRE TO SUCCEED WITH LITTLE OPPORTUNITY. THE MUSIC AND SONGS ALONG WITH FRANKIE HAVE BECOME CLASSICS. EQUAL KUDOS TO THE SONG WRITER. HOWEVER, IT PORTRAYS A POOR GENERALIZATION OF YOUNG ITALIANS OF THE TIME HAVING A CRIMINAL TENDENCY.

Seen jersey boys more times than I can remember. Great show with a great bunch of very talented actors. Went last Sunday to see Ryan Molloy as he is outstanding as the lead. We got Michael Watson instead as Ryan was off sick. Has to be one of the worst performances of this show I have seen. He just couldn't stay in the right key for any of the songs! Over acting lead to mistakes in the second act. Didn't like it one bit! Came across over confidence without any real quality in his ability to perform. Will wait for Ryan before I go back!!

Read some of the other reviews. Seems to me that you have to try an pick who you see so you won't be disappointed! I have seen this show a fair few times so would recommend Ryan Molloy or Ben Jennings. Both are excellent in this role! Vocals the best by far from the other people who play/ cover this part! The others are so so. Not great but ok. No wow factor compared to the best two!

Michael Watson was playing the lead when we saw the show last week. Was really looking forward to a great show! He didn't seem to be able to stay in tune! The second act just got worst! Off key with the solo songs! Didn't do anything for myself an party! A real shame! Will leave it a while before I will be going back!

The cover I saw playing the lead in jersey boys boys last week has to be the worst I have seen in a very long time!! Couldn't sing in tune.Couldnt dance! Very poor for this sort of show. The rest of the cast lead the show which helped. Surely the lead should be the best? Ive seen most of the other guys who play or understudy this part who are very good. This actor was Michael Watson. Think he needs to go and find another career choice!

Jersey boys is such a good show if they could get the right performers to perform consistently! Not like some of the other jukebox musicals this is a good strong show. I have found over the years that the leads look like they are only cast for the way they look rather than for talent which let's the show down really badly! Ryan molloy has lead the show over the years to the high quailty it should be. So I don't see why the standard has dropped. Most of the covers I have seen are not always Frankie valli lookalikes but have had very good voices.Those that have looked more like the man haven't always been able to sing let alone carry the show as a lead should. I think talent should override the look any day! I'm sure theatre goers don't really care about the way a performer looks. More to do with can they do the show justice! This is a hard vocal show so come on casting agents! Get it right!
