Jean and Marylou Took Us to "Jersey Boys" for the Matinee



This is a picture of the Jersey Boys from my seat. I had the camera hidden in my lap.


I don't know how they did it - but at 3 PM Sunday - Marylou and Jean had us in the front row to see Jersey Boys - the show about the history of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It is a spectacular show - with a very solid stage band that kept the story moving nicely.

The Four Seasons were an American Band - like the Beach Boys - that got steamrolled by the Beatles and the British Invasion. They did produce a string of number one hits in the early 60s. The play focused on the band's life on the road - romances - and their difficulty in paying off large debts to the mafia and the IRS. Their love songs were the background music for American Romances around 1962.

After the play we had dinner nearby - then shopped thru Chinatown - and walked home.

Our guests - who never get jet lag - slept to noon.


Marylou wanted a picture of me with this cluttered Vespa.
