Was even better than I thought!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2014)

I wanted to see the stage play from the first time I saw it advertised. I never got to, but when I saw the movie trailer, I was not going to let this opportunity pass! I've always been a fan of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, but never knew much about them. Everyone in my party LOVED this movie! Not just getting to see where these guys came from, but the cast makes this movie worth seeing. It's definitely true that a story is only as good as the storyteller. These guys made you believe they were FV&FS. Their vocals and harmony are spot on, their acting goes beyond the word. They BECOME the four seasons. I've never seen such raw emotion as is displayed by John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli... Erich Bergen absolutely shines as singer/songwriter Bob Gaudio. I loved that they sang all of their own music live in each set rather than lip syncing, too. Whether you're a fan of the music or not, this movie is not to be missed. If you're a fan, it's a must. You'll fall in love with their music all over again, as well as become a fan of these four men portraying them in the movie!
