Jersey Boys, Prince Edward Theatre

Present: Nic, Brian, Nita

Date: July 13, 2013

Another Saturday matinee, this time with Brian's Mum.  It was a hot and sunny day so, after deciding on this show at the Leicester Square ticket booth, we headed for lunch (some pretty good tapas at Bodega Negra, conveniently located for the theatre) and then we went in for the performance, hoping for air conditioning and not disappointed - phew!


Brian had no idea he knew so many Four Seasons songs and even I was surprised.  The performers were very strong, with great voices.  The way the story was told by each character from his own perspective was interesting and the set had some cunning moments, such as when we were blinded by the stage lights, seeing what they saw, as though on stage with the performers.  But the music is the star of this show.  The standing ovation appeared 100% and everyone left the theatre humming and smiling.
