Review of touring "Jersey Boys" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Touring ‘Jersey Boys’ still a winner though a tad leaner Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal The question is not whether the national tour of “Jersey Boys,” currently on stage at Playhouse Square, is good. The show, after all, won the 2006 Tony Award, is the 12th longest running show in Broadway history, and received standing ovations from sold-out houses during tour visits through Cleveland in 2016, 2014, 2011, 2008 and 2006. And it is based on a band that has sold an estimated 175 million records worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No, the question is whether the work turned in by the 2020 national touring company is as good as past productions. Yes and no.
