text: Decided to see this show because of the star average it has on Yelp and how it is also highly rated on a few other sites I was wondering how a show about a doowop group could be so highly rated And while the show was fun it did not come close to what I would expect from such a high average More of a star show nnThe Jersey Boys story is pretty basic musical group struggles achieves success in fighting leads to break up professionalprivate life conflicts they all come back together for a happy ending But what the show is really about is the music I am in my s so I am familiar with many of these songs through their use in TVMoviescommercials So it was nice to see them performed in their original design I was surprised that so many of these songs came from the same group nnThe best parts of the show were when they sang the familiar hits So the first half was a little slow And while they do have a lot of hits the whole doowop style of singing did get a little old The guy playing the lead singer Frankie Valli does have a strong voice with wide pitchtone It was impressive but got annoying a few times during the show The high pitch delivery just does not have the same kind of appeal in todays music nnAnd while one of the reasons we chose this show was to see something other than another Cirque du Soleil show these kinds of show can seem a bit bland when compared to the spectacle that come with any CdS show I was also surprised when I saw that JB is also one of the most expensive shows on the strip So while it was a fun songdance show I would only recommend it if someone likes doowop music is tired of the CdS shows and can get the tickets on discount
