We booked the show from the UK having heard good reviews of the show here, but thought we would take the opportunity to see it in NYC while we were there and so glad we did. The show was great and despite not being able to sing a note, it didn't stop me singing along to all the songs in... More

A real feel good factor and when one is tired from walking the streets sightseeing and from the time difference, this will keep you awake. The show is full of non stop hits, great!!!

As young adults, we weren't sure if Jersey Boys was going to speak to us since the story is about a musical group from as era that was way before our time. We went in to the show skeptical, but with an open mind & within minutes, we were BLOWN AWAY. This show is what Broadway is all about. The... More

It was our third time seeing Jersey Boys, but the first time in NY City, and we were not disappointed -- a poignant, real-life story of rags to riches and back again, with great songs to bring us back to that era. The audience seemed to identify with the actors, more so than when we saw it in Toronto. Also,... More

Saw this on 30th April - it was our Silver Wedding Anniversary and was the highlight of our day! John Lloyd Young was in the lead role that night and he and the cast bought the fantastic songs and gripping storyline to life, cannot recommend highly enough!

It's a true story of Frankie Valli and The Jersey boys, with All The music of that time! You will remember when you were young, and how The jersey boys began their carreer, The stage is nice and simple but the actors and singers will blow your heart! It really worth going if you are in NYC

Jersey Boys is a musical for people who don't really love musicals. It's fast-paced, nostalgic, and the talented cast was great.

. . . but finally got around to seeing this show. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not a spectacular production (like Wicked), trendy (Once), meaningful (pick a play) or really all that current, but a good time nonetheless. The small cast keeps it fresh after all these years, and of course the music is all familiar. There's a reason it's been... More

Saw it in Seattle, the Fifth Avenue Theater, in May. It is a good Broadway Show, although I must say definitely not the best. Maybe the problem was I saw many shows which I liked better, and by comparison, Jersey Boys lost. Chick Corea in the Jazz Alley, Haydn and Mozart in the Seattle Symphony, and Boing Boing, the comedy... More
