Big Girls Don't Cry

But they do get to go see Jersey Boys!

We went to the Saturday matinee in Toronto with my parents, because I am a good daughter and got them (and D and I) tickets for Mother's/Father's Days.

The show was absolutely fantastic. The actors were phenomenal - their dynamics, singing and dancing was absolutely spot on. A totally talented group. The staging was awesome. The set was incredibly simply, but used to it's full potential and beyond. I saw some great staging that I'd never seen before and was very impressed. The story itself is fascinating and the way it was presented was enrapturing. I loved that I already knew most of the music, which kind of made it feel personal - like reading a little known interview with a favourite actor, in which they prove they are just great people. They are just great songs!

I bought the CD and I can already think of a number of people who need to be introduced.
