Outstanding and exciting as the music is, “Jersey Boys” is no mere jukebox musical. One of its frequently overlooked strengths is its book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (currently represented on Broadway by “The Addams Family.” They tell the story, warts and all, of how the group that would ultimately take the name “The Four Seasons” from a local bowling alley initially came together in suburban New Jersey in the late 1950’s following various failed attempts by DeVito and Valley (as Franki spelled his name at that point) to eke out a living in clubs and lounges. Directed by Des McAnuff, the show, which charts the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, has a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
