The Boys are in town – Review of Jersey Boys, Brisbane

July 18, by Vikram Goyal. 2 Comments

Jersey Boys Brisbane Review

There was a hush around the theatre. Everyone was dead silent. And then it just exploded. So started the Jersey Boys story on the stage with everyone’s favourite tunes.

With a dramatic setting, a high value cast, and an engaging storyline, the Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons opened for its premier season in Brisbane at the Lyric theatre at QPAC.

What was intensely appealing was the way the story was narrated, engaging everyone, even those who hadn’t grown up with America’s answer to the Beatles. The narration by different cast members explained how the the brand of Jersey Boys was developed and the familiar tunes that we all know them by. How it was such a trial and error, how they found the sound. The narrator explained it, and the actors performed it. A seamless integrated blend of high value theatrics. Absolutely brilliant!

Perhaps it is a sign of the brilliant direction but everyone had their story to tell and the show featured that person’s views impeccably. Franki Valli’s story was the least important (in a way). More social drama than business drama.

Then the music itself! There was not one flat note. The vocal projections were superb. How did they ever find so many artists with such superb voices?

Intermission was welcome and in the second half you related to their exhaustion. The show just built on the story in the second half.

Hats off to the set designer (Klara Zieglerovaas). The props and the stage setup was amazing. Everything moved fluidly. Such artistry!

I couldn’t find anything that was wrong with the show. Appointment was amazing, the details were superb. The trademarks gestures were spot on.

Very uplifting and put you in a feel good moment. Captivating. And it is great story – well told – sad but uplifting. Everyone was on their feet at the end. Go see it.

    Did the reviewer see the same show that I did?

    Jersey Boys is narrated at different points in the story by each of the Four Seasons and the audience is not told at any time whether Frankie Valli even had a brother!

    One thing the reviewer did get right. Go see it!
