Review: JERSEY BOYS at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - April 28, 2025
JERSEY BOYS at New Theatre Restaurant is a delightful evening out on the town. The show tells the mostly true story of sixties pop legends Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. This show is an original and fun trip down memory lane with a singing group who offered a unique sound that still resonates almost seventy years later. JERSEY BOYS was written before almost all the juke box musicals that have overwhelmed the Great White Way today.
