Jersey Boys
The best part of a Doo-Wop group is there are no instruments to lug around.
However, the voices in this musical-drama do have baggage.
Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), a gifted vocalist from New Jersey, teams with Tommy (Vincent Piazza) Bob (Erich Bergen) and Nick (Michael Lomenda) to start a singing group.
Relegated to back-up singing, the boys struggle to get their single Sherry heard. When the song is heard, it sets off a chain-reaction of number one hits.
Regrettably, when Tommy's debt to a Jersey gangster (Christopher Walken) is called in, Frankie must make a tough choice.
While the hits are here, the versions in Clint Eastwood's adaptation of the Broadway Musical about The Four Seasons are as lifeless and boring as the script.
Besides, why pay $20 to see actors imitating an old Doo-Wop group, when you can see the actual Doo-Wop group at the casino for $15?
