Jersey Boys Tour - A Must See

Have you heard of the Jersey Boys musical? If you haven't, then you must be living under a rock. Jersey Boys is one of the hottest shows of the last few years to tour off of Broadway. If you need a point of reference (in terms of how popular the show is), think The Producers from the last decade. Jersey Boys is a musical that centers around the 1960s rock and roll group The Four Seasons. It's so popular that this show won four Tony Awards when it debuted on Broadway. It features favorites (from my parents generation, granted, but songs that everyone should know in OUR generation, too!) like "Oh, What a Night", "Short Shorts", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man" and more. Which means this girl is super excited to go check this show out - I just checked the Jersey Boys schedule and it looks like the show is going to be playing in Vegas at the Paris Hotel while I'm there for a bachelorette party - I might need to convince these girls that a little Jersey Boys is much more exciting than anything that The Thunder Down Under might have going on! Might be tough. But I'll try.

Top Five Shows I NEED to See

I love theater- obviusly - but there are several shows that I haven't seen yet that are on my "theater bucketlist" for the next year. Whether on Broadway or touring, these are my top MUST SEE SHOWS of 2012. Looks like there might be a little travel in my future...

Book of Mormon tickets: I need these. Yesyesyes. This show is coming to Denver next year, and this show is #1 on my bucketlist. Love.

Beauty and the Beast tickets: It's a classic from my childhood - and I've only heard great things about this show. So this one is going to be a traveler - perhaps Broadway this summer?

Mary Poppins tickets: I love the movie, and my nieces adore this show. Perhaps I'll have to take them on a little auntie vacay this year!

Legally Blonde tickets: Ok, I've totally seen this one. On Broadway, even. But seriously, this show is fantastic. I love the sets, the peppy blondes (maybe because I am a peppy blonde? who knows) and the fab music. Need to see it again. And again, and again, and again...

Jersey Boys tickets: And I've seen this one too. But again, it's another "must see". And my momma hasn't seen it, and I just know she'd love it. Which makes me think that maybe I'll have to meet her in a city on the Jersey Boys schedule for a girls weekend...


Travel + Theater = <3. I wish I had more time/money/frequent fliers for it!
