Last night I watched Jersey Boys and it brought back memories for my mother. I did not even think I could recognise a large number of the songs by the Four Seasons aside from December 1963, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry and Working My Back To You. I listen to Smooth Radio and the DJs like their binge on Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons so I guess it could be down to that. But I really...

Jonathan Kay: Tiger Woods and the problem with being 10 feet tall
Full Comment (Free subscription) | 12/01/2009
... The Four Seasons, now on indefinite run at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. About halfway through, Frankie Valli explains to a floozy why he needs two mates, one to play house, the other to play sex kitten. Traditional monogamy is simply not an option when you're a big star on the road, he declared: "You've put on a great show ... You're 10 feet tall. So what are you going to...

Both created a considerable buzz amongst the guests, with Frankie Valli performing a sizzling set for one hour that got people up dancing instead of scarfing down truffles at the sweet tables!

Groovy Gay Film Festival #19: Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!!

... son, Nelson. But John Lloyd Young--who is best known for his Tony Award-winning performance as Frankie Valli in the musical, Jersey Boys --seems miscast in the role of Nelson, and he and Rodriguez have zero chemistry. I was hoping Young might sing at some point during the film, but, unfortunately, he doesn't. And comedian Bruce Vilanch is sadly wasted in the underwritten role of Shirley's...

At this point in its history, Chicago theater is enjoying the seemingly heartfelt patronage of a trifecta of very powerful politicians. It is an extraordinary moment that should not be allowed to pass without note. On...

In reply to Cara's Commentary & Community Chat, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009 : David- I have this mental picture of you listening to Wayne Newton singing old Frankie Valli songs. Seriously, if you pomade your hair just right and put on a tux, you could get up on stage in front of screaming Russian teenyboppers. You would just need to learn how to beg the audience (back in the early sixties,...

The Harlem Shakes: "Nothing But Change Part II" MP3
Sixeyes (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009
The Harlem Shakes have been featured here several times over the past couple of years and still they haven't exploded across the blog-o-sphere as I think they should. They've got great hooks, hell, they've got killer hooks in many of their songs; they've got an idiosyncratic and distinctive vocalist in Lexy Benaim (Benaim can sound like a frenetic, and definitely indie , Frankie Valli);...
