I did`nt realise how many hits Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons had. Great singers as well, puts TV talent shows to shame. Some swearing, may not be suitable for young children. Check seating plan, good view from everywhere, but can be a long way back or up in the gods."

|
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Review score: | 9/2/2012 | | "Superb musical performances, but something lacking" | | "May be the production was too hurried, certainly didn`t get long enough blasts of the old favourites. No doubt of the superb talent of the cast. Feel it was more of a concert linked by a true historical storyline, rather than the lively musical show I had been expecting. Just lacks that special something."
