4. Musical theatre
Jersey Boys, Milton Keynes Theatre, February 23 to March 5. They were just four young men from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard – and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story – a story that has made Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Oh What A Night, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and Working My Way Back To You.
