It will be the first time the show about the ’60s singing group Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will be brought to this market, but it will mark a return visit for Colby Foytik, who plays one of the singers in the legendary group.
Foytik plays Tommy DeVito, the man who formed The Four Seasons and recruited Valli to be its lead singer. In a recent interview, Foytik revealed he is very familiar with this area. Not only did he go to Ithaca College, but he performed in “Forever Plaid” at Cohoes Music Hall about seven years ago. The actor spent 10 months with the show in Las Vegas.
“I don’t remember much about the area,” he said. “It was in January and very cold and very snowy. When we weren’t at the theater, we stayed in our apartment.” He said that during the three-week “Jersey Boys” run, he intends to make up for that and hopes to visit many Capital District landmarks before the show leaves town March 18.
It would seem that “Forever Plaid,” a musical about four dead guys who never made it in show business, and “Jersey Boys,” a show about one of the most popular singing groups ever, are worlds apart. Foytik agrees the content of the shows is dramatically different, but, he points out, they have two huge things in common: a four-part harmony and music people love.
“I bet the majority of the people who go to ‘Jersey Boys’ will know and love 98 of the songs,” Foytik said, offering titles like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Dawn” and “My Eyes Adored You” to prove his point.
Jersey Boys Musical is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide – all before they were thirty.
Jersey Boys musical will run from February 28, 2012 and continue through March 18, 2012 at Proctors Theatre. Buy Jersey Boys Schenectady NY Tickets Online. Use Code AFF$10 to Get $10 OFF on Orders over $350!
