 Oh, What A CD!!! August 8, 2007

The JERSEY BOYS (2005 OBC)CD is fantastic! I haven't seen the musical nor am I a big Four Seasons fan, but I can't stop listening to it.
After seeing the commercial for the musical and catching a glimpse of the performance of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" (a song I truly love), I decided to buy JERSEY BOYS. And I'm glad I did.
Either from other artists remaking the songs or from distant childhood memories, I was amazed that I knew a lot of the material. Mostly all of the tracks were familiar.
The cd has some dialogue in it that explains the situations the group or individuals were/are in, before the songs start, so if you haven't seen the musical it helps tell the story.
Now the real gem in the JERSEY BOYS cd is John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli. The rest of the cast is good, but oh baby...this guy is all that! Just listen to Young's voice on "Sherry" as he goes up and down the scale. He sings like an angel.
My two favorite tracks: "My Eyes Adored You" and of course "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."
Anyway, if you're wondering about whether or not you should buy this cd because you aren't a big Four Seasons' fan or haven't seen the musical, don't worry...buy it. The music is familiar, it tells a story, the songs are great, and John Lloyd Young is the cherry on top!

The harmoney is absolutely wonderful. I just wish the entire CD was singing. There is a lot of talking in this CD as well as the singing. I would not buy this one again. Had I known this I would have bought the CD with singing only.

Absolutely brilliant! All the songs are catchy and I literally bounce in my car to them all. My favorite songs: Sherrie, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, Who Loves You.
If you love broadway, you NEED to buy this CD, it is worth every penny!!

Ditto. I agree with everyone's comments on just how great this show is. I just want to add the it's about time The Four Seasons (and their music) got the recognition and respect they deserve. Most theater goers are surprised at remembering (and hearing) just how many hits this group had. Not to mention the other great songs that did not make it into the play, like Let's Hang On, The Proud One, Ronnie, Marlena, etc. Any other rock'n'roll group should be envious of having such a surplus of material to choose from. It was a Tony Award well earned.

I bought the CD about one month before we went to see the show. My husband didn't understand why I would do that but after the first time he heard it, he was raving about it. The show on Broadway is fantastic and I listen to the soundtrack quite often. Anybody who grew up with this music will enjoy it. Can't wait to see the show again.
