Yesterday I attended a matinee performance in Chicago of "Jersey Boys". My brother Tom graciously treated my mother, sister and I with tickets as birthday gifts.
The show was excellent! Well acted, sung and staged. I read that the writer said he wanted people to say "I never knew that" when leaving the theater. I exclaimed that to myself plenty of times throughout the show.
Sure, there was some salty language, but consider the title. These were not gentlemen from Verona here. If you find the "F" word too offensive or if you want to bring the kiddies along, you may reconsider attending. The story was interesting and the music fun. Definitely a show well worth seeing.
