I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway last night. It's been open 3 years and it's still hard to get tickets. What a show - an excellent cast. The music is probably not well know by most of you here. It might be called post doo wop - or nascent rock and roll. I'd call it pop these days. Still - the harmonies were superb. It was a very sad show as Frankie Valli did not have a particularly easy time of fame and fortune.

A rather depressing aside from me is that my eldest son went to high school with the son of one of the replacement Four Seasons. Neither father nor son seems to have done well either. The kid is a hell of a bassist though. (The kid is amost 30 now - not much of a kid anymore)

A funny thing in the theater lobby was the sign warning people about the "authentic Jersey language" used in the play LOL.

Jersey Boys contains smoke, gun shots, strobe lights and profane "authentic Jersey language." We do encourage parents to use these notes as deciding factors for the enjoyment of the performance for themselves, their children and other patrons.

One review said that - We're not sure we've ever been to a musical rated PG-13 for language before.

Having grown up here I guess I never noticed that my state is the only one to be known for our foul mouths LOL.
