Review: JERSEY BOYS at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Oh, what a night! Dutch Apple brings the crowd-pleaser Jersey Boys to the Lancaster stage. Based on the life and times of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, this toe-tapping blast from the past serves up all their hits like Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, and Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You. Sebastian Rohn great as the legendary Frankie Valli. Many of the numbers featuring that iconic falsetto is spot on. It is obvious, Mr Rohn put a lot of time, effort, and practice into mastering the look and the sound of the great singer. Matt Michael brings a multi-dimensional performance to fellow Four Seasons; member, Tommy DeVito. At times, he is both lovable and despicable-but that is what makes him human. What I like most about this musical is that is doesn’t gloss over the musicians’ flaws. We get to know them, warts and all. This makes it a more rewarding story.
