Far from a mere tribute concert, it gets to the heart of the relationships at the centre of the group, with a special focus on frontman Frankie Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto. John Lloyd Young and Vincent Piazza lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. Jersey Boys came out in 2014. The performances in Jersey Boys do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue.
