Stirring 'Jersey Boys' story fronts soundtrack of a generation

Post Gazette: "Audience-watching at 'Jersey Boys' is almost as much fun as what's happening on stage -- almost. You see heads bobbing, lips moving and feet tapping unbidden as hit after Four Seasons hit bursts through the theater. For boomers, 'Jersey Boys' is like listening to the soundtrack of their younger selves but with a bonus: The musical turns back time to when the super group rose to fame with Bob Gaudio tunes providing a catalyst for Frankie Valli's soaring voice, and with the behind-the-scenes machinations of Tommy DeVito, who put it all together and then nearly ripped it apart."
