Editorial Review: 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.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Jersey Boys a Hit in Print Too!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! Rating:  - AwesomeEven though i was born in the 70's i have to say Frankie Valli and the four seasons, their music, their lives, have touched me, and i love the fact that the book was written "jersey boys" it made me just totally fall in love with them and their music....awesome...thanks Rating: - Jersey BoysI loved The Four Seasons. This book gives me a complete picture history of my favorite group Rating: - A fitting tribute to the musical and the band that inspired itThere is no definitive biography of pop icons Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, but until one comes along this glossy coffee table book will do. Make no mistake - this book is primarily about the musical Jersey Boys rather than the musical group that inspired it - but there is plenty of material about both to make the casual fan happy. Billed as "the official companion to the Broadway musical," the book features the show's libretto, tons of photos, and interviews with the cast, director, writers, and the Four Seasons themselves. There is also a nice Valli/Seasons discography at the end of the book that spans five decades of musical output. Rating: - A perfect addition to any Jersey Boys collectionEven though I was born in 1991, I love the Four Seasons, and the Jersey Boys even more. To me, this book has everything a Jersey Boys fan would need, such as facts about the production of the show and interviews with everyone involve, including the original Four Seasons members. I believe the best part of this book is that it includes the script of the show and hundreds of pictures. Reading it almost makes you relive the live show. If you know any fans of Jersey Boys, this would make a perfect gift. |
