JERSEY BOYS retreads and newbies will all have a wonderful time.  Oh, yes, “Oh, What a Night.”  You’ll be “Beggin’” to “Stay” for another curtain call!  You’ll leave the State singing and dancing down the aisle.

But the joy of “Jersey Boys” is how the cast captures the essence of The Four Seasons while creating real-life characters when not nailing a jukebox full of standards such as “You’re Just Too Good to be True,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Rag Doll” and “Walk Like a Man.”  In that department, this latest tour is a solid-gold No. 1 hit.

“Jersey Boys” is that kind of Juke Box Musical that you could easily see over and over again.  The current tour that has landed at Playhouse Square is exceptional.  You will find yourself tapping your feet, singing along and holding hands with your significant other.  It is two-and-a-half hours of great music that flies by in a hurry.

Oh, what a night.  Wow!  Cleveland’s State Theatre was filled (few seats were vacant).  That means almost 2,500 people sat in sweet anticipation for “Jersey Boys.” Many had seen the show on other tours.  One friend was back for her fifth time to see the show.  I saw it for the fourth time.  Oh, what a night.
