Saturday night, Robert saw a marquee for
Jersey Boys, a musical revue about the Four Seasons. I had seen a
performance by the Broadway group a few years ago during the Tony Awards and knew I wanted to see it. Here are songs they sing as
seen in the 2007 Emmy Awards. One of the fellows you see there (Michael Ingersoll) was in the Chicago cast. When I was in New York this year I couldn't even get tickets for it. But this trip to Chicago was different. We went to the ticket office and got two fabulous tickets for the Sunday matinee. Cory Grant had the part for
Frankie Valli and he was outstanding. He just got on board last month. He had been the understudy in New York, I think.
We also saw that Kathy Griffin was performing while we were in town, but we didn't follow up on getting tickets. We were busy.
After the museum tour and before Jersey Boys, we stopped by a little place nearby, Argo Tea Cafe, and got a light lunch. I had the quiche, Robert the pizza.
The songs just kept coming! I need to get the CD. Here were some of the songs we heard: Oh What a Night, Silhouettes, Earth Angel, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, My Boyfriend's Back, Let's Hang On (To What we've Got), Rag Doll, Working My Way Back to You.
If you get a chance to see this musical, do it!!
