Enjoyed the live play much better

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2014)

We've seen Jersey Boys in NYC 6 times (we live in PA). The movie was disappointing to us because it seemed the characters weren't developed as well. We couldn't get into their characters/personalities as much. Their little cute/funny lines fell flat because of this. What happened at the place in Detroit was a surprise from Gaudio to Frankie in the play...even made me cry. It was not the same in the movie. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the movie, and I imagine people who never saw the stage play might absolutely love it. It is kind of like reading a book before seeing a movie. Most people like the book better, but some the other way around. I'm very happy that someday when the stage play is done, there will be a movie to watch forever.
