I have never seen the live musical

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2014)

I have never seen the live musical, so my opinion will be a little slanted. The acting was pretty good and the sets were fun and colorful and captured the look and feel of the 60's. I especially liked Vincent Piazza and of course John Lloyd Young, who plays Frankie Valley and who I believe is the same actor as the Broadway version and he or they did all their own singing, so there is definitely talent involved. I don't think I need to say that the singing and dancing were the most entertaining part about it. I found myself waiting for those scenes and getting bored during the non-musical scenes, especially toward the end of the movie. There is a really fun musical number at the end though that makes up for it. The songs are fun and familiar. I have a feeling I will like it live better. If you know nothing about it, it's about Frankie Valley and the four Seasons. I'm not sure how much Hollywood played with the history of it, so Look it up on Wikipedia.
