This article makes me sad, because I love "Jersey Boys". I think its fun and catchy and a cool story, but I am not sure how to take this law suit. On the one hand, I can see why they are upset and saying that it is a copycat show, but on the other I feel that they could just be being territorial, possessive and feel slightly threatened and this is the only way they could see to handle it. There are so many law suits going through the courts these days that are a complete waste of time and make a joke out of the court system. Ill be interested to see what the court will decide.
