I'm never quite sure about those tribute shows. It seems they are trying to make a buck copying performers from the past, and never quite replicate the original, but this show was really good. An assortment of different performers present this show in many locations, but the cast featured here were talented and acted and sounded just as amazing as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons back in the 60s and 70s.
Do you remember Walk Like a Man, Oh What a Night, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, My Eyes Adored You, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry.....
And of course, we both took advantage of the inevitable photo op after the show.
The youngest member of the group was awesome... he was the son of the tall chap on the right..... the one who reminds me so much of Donny Osmond.
BTW, in case you need to know, Frankie Valli was born Francesco Stephen Castelluccio in New Jersey in 1934, and is still touring with the Four Seasons. Tommy DeVito, Frankie Valli, Nick Massi and Bob Gaudio were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
Looks like a good time was had by all :)

ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you look more into having the photo taken than your friend. Some of these shows can be a great tribute to the original artists, if they are done well.
I was in my first year of college in Chicago in 1954-55. My friends and I would go downtown to watch a movie and a show. Back in the day, movie theaters included live performances by the current stars. One of those was Frankie Valli. Fun times!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photographs! Fantastic memory jerkers!
The delicious lunch, fun performance, and the photo - perfectly lovely! I only know Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.
