TO BE OR NOT TO BE? THE JERSEY BOYS>> BY KERI FREEMAN YO! Shut up and dance!

The JERSEY BOYS now playing at the Ahmanson Theater

N

ow we know you’re not supposed to dance in your seats at the theater but be forewarned, it’s almost impossible not to dance and sing while enjoying the theatrical performance of the Jersey Boys now playing at the Ahmanson Theater.

In fact, expect to be overwhelmed by emotion thanks to this musical narration chronicling the careers of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons, four lovable guys from New Jersey who hit the big time with an unparalleled sound that took the world by storm.

In the 60’s and 70’s the Four Seasons delighted audiences with Frankie Valli as the lead singer, Bob Gaudio on keyboards and tenor vocals, Tommy DeVito on lead guitar and baritone vocals, and Nick Massi on electric bass and bass vocals. With 20 Top Twenty singles, they burst onto the scene and continuously dominated the charts with a sound nobody had ever heard before, reviling the Beach Boys and The Beatles.

A musical adaptation of the book written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice the play is directed by Des McAnuff.

Jersey Boys isn’t just a theatrical masterpiece worthy of every award it’s been given a little over a decade. It’s also a seamless experience of choreography, sound, projection, costume design, set changes

by Klara Zieglerova, and theatrical lighting by Howell Binkley, that set the mood and take you on a roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of show business, all the while dousing you in your favorite tunes by the group including, “Big Girls Don’t Cry, Cherry Baby, Walk Like a Man, Oh, What a Night and Working My Way Back to You Babe”. All songs that provoke feelings of a more innocent musical time in America, and all carrying the signature sound of harmony perfection and the “soaring falsettos” of Frankie Valli, whom the world still can’t get enough of.

Mark Ballas is reprising his hit Broadway performance as Frankie Valli for the Los Angeles engagement of the tour. Ballas, known for his Emmy-nominated work on “Dancing with the Stars,” made his Broadway debut in the role last fall (October 18, 2016 – January 15, 2017). Critically acclaimed ‘Frankie veterans’ Aaron De Jesus and Miguel Jarquin-Moreland will play Frankie Valli at certain performances during the week. The cast of “Jersey Boys” will also feature Matthew Dailey (Tommy DeVito), Keith Hines (Nick Massi) and Cory Jeacoma (Bob Gaudio) as The Four Seasons, with Barry Anderson and Thomas Fiscella.

The ensemble of “Jersey Boys” includes Mark Edwards, Corey Greenan, Bryan Hindle, David LaMarr, Austin Owen, Kristen Paulicelli, Leslie Rochette, Andrew Russell, Jenna Nicole Schoen, Dru Serkes, Jonny Wexler and Jesse Wildman.

This Tony Award®-winning musical pulls at your heartstrings and never lets you go for a minute. For the Eastsider, the show is a reminder of home, with actors mimicking thick Jersey accents, shared ambitions, and fearless profanity. For the inspiring musician, dreams, hard work, demands for respect, and the sacrifices that come with the realities of hitting the big time.

But it’s not all elation, the story dips in and out of the darker side of show business, a life away from the wife and kids, losing members, the mob, the unsuspected death of Franki Valli’s estranged daughter, the eventual break-up of the group and Joe Pesci?

Yes, Joe Pesci. It’s revealed that actor Joe Pesci of “GodFellas” fame played an influential role in the success of the group as well. www.centertheatergroup.org

colin kaepernick needs a Job...

C

olin Kaepernick’s career in the NFL is in serious jeopardy after the Seattle Seahawks, a roster full of fiery players and a coach who encourages his players to be vocal and supports freedom of speech has opted not to sign 29-yr. old Quarterback.

Instead, the Seahawks signed Austin Davis to backup starting Quarterback Russell Wilson.

A

s NFL franchises begin OTA’s and training camp, the Seahawks seemed to be his final option. His NFL journey which began with such great promise has turned into a Greek tragedy. He was destined to become the next great 49ers Quarterback in the mold of Montana and Young. The past three seasons Kaepernick has regressed, and of course, he drew outrage across the globe when he refused to stand for our National Anthem, electing to kneel instead.

photo courtesy sportingnews.com The 49ers were simply horrible last year, going 2-14.

Kaepernick threw 16 touchdowns and four interceptions and a 90.7 passer rating on a dreadful 49ers team. He also had just 2,241 passing yards. Although his mobility and elusive speed are still intact, he never matured into a pocket passer. In addition, his former coach Jim Harbaugh left for Ann Arbor to lead the Michigan Wolverines, while Running Back Frank Gore and a stout defense evaporated.

This off-season, an abundance of decent Quarterbacks have found a new home, where they will be standing dutifully on the sidelines with a clipboard and headset. Which begs the question; why hasn’t Kaepernick been picked up? First, since Kaepernick is a mobile Quarterback teams would need to build around him. Every draft pick and the free agent would have to fit a system designed to win. He still shows flashes of brilliance at times, dazzling skill sets, however, NFL franchises never build around a backup.

He is only three years removed from helping the 49ers reach the Super Bowl, then the NFC Championship. Although it feels like a lifetime ago, compound that with the Media circus which will follow him to his next spot. That is likely to scare potential suitors from signing him.

Carroll was supportive after Kaepernick visited the organization last week.

“[Kaepernick’s] a starter. And we have a starter. …

But he’s a starter in this league, and I can’t imagine somebody won’t give him a chance to play.”

Rumors floated the QB was demanding a hefty salary, an accusation his supporters vehemently deny. They firmly believe Kaepernick is a victim in danger of losing his livelyhood akin to the saga of former baseball player, Curt Flood . Davis has 13 career touchdowns, and has spent time with the Rams and Denver Broncos.

Perhaps this is a coup, with Kaepernick gaining sympathy from the public. The story is absolutely tailor made for these divisive times. The Quarterback is an intellegent man, its not hard to imagine him parlaying his tale into a lurid tell all book, which is common place now. Perhaps Russell Wilson didnt want his former arch nemesis breathing down his neck.

There is no doubt however, that Colin Kaepernick is a far better football player than Austin Davis.

Even Mrs. Austin would admit the fact in private.

Mark Sanchez, Brock Osweiller, Mike Glennon have landed,15 to be exact. Kaepernick is still patiently waiting. For all the Kaepernick supporters, dont throw in the towel just yet. All it takes is one devastating injury during training camp, and boom- Kaepernick is back in the league. Hopefully, he left his arm in San Francisco!
