'Jersey Boys,' the hit musical chronicling the story of the Four Seasons, which previously had an extremely successful sit-down production in Chicago, has rolled back into town as a stop on its national tour. All remains intact: The 'Joysy' speak, the high croon of Frankie Valli (played in this production by a charming Hayden Milanes), and the wheeling and dealing with the mob hasn't changed at all since Chicago has last seen the musical. In fact, the production feels almost too exact: the performances (although in very capable and talented hands), feel like they have been directed to model exactly the speech, intonation, and movements of the actors who came before them, who were directed to model exactly the actors who came before them, who were directed to model exactly the actors who came before them...and so on.

When a software time bomb shuts down the mentally controlled construction equipment on the Sunworld launch cat project, it leaves expert spyder-driver Mike Hayden temporarily idled. Waiting for secure software upgrades in the subterranean city of Hyumbar, he spends his free time profitably-gambling in the bad part of town. But when he intervenes to stop a beautiful young woman from being mugged in a deserted service corridor one night, his life changes forever. Drawn by love into a web of deceit, violence and political intrigue, he finds himself at ground zero in a bloody coup d'état. Forced to fight for his life and for the lives of those he loves, Mike must fall back on the only weapons at his disposal: subterfuge, cunning and the skills of his craft. As the situation worsens and events careen out of control, the truth becomes painfully clear. As always in the human political universe, nothing can prevent the triumph of fascism and madness except grim determination, a level head, and proficiency with naked steel.
