Days like these I'm glad I follow a lot of musical theatre accounts on Facebook and Twitter. Why you ask? Mainly because I just discovered that a hit Tony award-winning Broadway musical is coming onto the big screen on June 20. The musical is........ Jersey Boys.
This 2005 jukebox musical is essentially a documentary about the formation, success and break-up of the 1960s rock 'n' roll group The Four Seasons (does the name Frankie Valli ring a bell?). Fun fact: Apparently the composers of the show, Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, are portrayed in the musical as a member (Gaudio) and the record producer (Crewe).
[A jukebox musical is a musical where its score contains previously released popular songs. Some musicals include Ain't Misbehavin', Singin' in theRain, Mamma Mia!, We Will Rock You, Prescilla Queen of the Desert- the Musical, Rock of Ages, and Xanadu.]
Anyway, I just discovered the official trailer of the movie so it should definitely be checked out!
