Product Description

How did four blue-collar kids become one of the greatest successes in pop music history? You ask four guys, you get four different answers. Have we got a story for you!
Everyone knows their songs. Few know their story. Named for a bowling alley that refused to book them, The Four Seasons—Frankie, Tommy, Bob, and Nick—were four high school dropouts who emerged from New Jersey to become true American Idols: one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. With a shiny doo-wop sound highlighted by lead singer Frankie Valli’s stratospheric falsetto, they wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds, and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were thirty.
Jersey Boys, Broadway’s 2006 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical, is the electrifying tale of the Seasons’ rise, the moment they established their signature sound with their breakout hit “Sherry”;becoming a sensation on American Bandstand, of being young and full of hope and dreams and promise; of riding the rocket of success against the irresistible pull of the Jersey mob and the old neighborhood. Like the show itself, this gorgeous, full-color companion book captures the magic and the original excitement of the band’s life and times through all-new interviews with the band members. It also features the show’s libretto; interviews with the show’s writers, director, and cast; and over 200 photos from the band members’ personal collections of rarely seen memorabilia. For anyone who's ever sung along or danced to "Oh, What a Night!", “Walk Like a Man” or “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, and for those just discovering the timeless sound of The Four Seasons, Jersey Boys is the ultimate keepsake.

5 out of 5 stars Great companion piece to a great show!   November 11, 2008
I have seen the Las Vegas production of "Jersey Boys" twice (so far)since it opened there spring of 2008. I looked at this book in the theater gift shop and knew I had to have it. I think anyone who has seen this wonderful show or even fans of the Four Seasons (who SHOULD see the show) would enjoy reading through this generously illustrated companion book.
It covers the story of the original Four Seasons, as well as the genesis of their saga into this brilliant, compelling musical. It is almost like seeing the show again.



4 out of 5 stars Happy to give this to a friend   September 10, 2008
I saw a touring production of "Jersey Boys" in my home state, Arizona. I decided to get this book for a friend of mine who doesn't love musicals like I do, but wanted to see this show because she and her husband grew up with the music of the real Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. For me the musical was interestingg, an intriguing look at the Fopur Seasons, and why they hit so quickly, but I disliked theprofane Jersey language, so I give this four stars.

4 out of 5 stars Jersey Boys a Hit in Print Too!   August 3, 2008
I loved the musical "Jersey Boys" and wanted to learn more. This book has biographical data about the singers and that time in the 1960s when they made their mark. It also chronicles how the story came to the stage and includes the complete script. It was like reliving the whole experience. If you are a fan of the The Four Seasons, have seen the musical and enjoy the music of the era, you will aappreciate this book!
