Carmichael Cruz, Click On Detroit: Jon Hackerstars as the falsetto-serenading Frankie Valli who brings down the house with his solo rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes of You." Hacker, who comes directly from the Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, takes audiences on Valli's journey from wide eyed 16-year-old newbie to fatherhood and all the way to...
Hollywood Hernandez, Selig Film News: Whether you are young or old, you'll enjoy the story of these four young men. I've seen the play every time it's been in Dallas, and it never disappoints. It's the music that carries the show, but the story of the four young men, as its tracks forty years of their lives, is the cherry on top,

Of course, the comedic moments with Joe Pesci (Justin Albinder) provide a perfect counterpoint to some of the more serious sub...

The narrative is relatively shapeless and the script is riddled with borderline-sexist jokes that feel outdated even for 2004, when the show was originally wr...
David Friscic, BroadwayWorld: Director Des McAnuff uses the musical numbers as underscoring for the interesting and tumultuous life history of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is an ingenious distillation of pivotal events from the lives of the main characters as a group and as individuals with their ...
Robbie Dingeman, Honolulu Magazine: The production values shine with the stellar falsetto of the lead actor, Jon Hacker, who plays Frankie Valli, and all the engaging main players: Eric Chambliss as Bob Gaudio, Matt Faucher as Nick Massi and Devon Goffman as Tommy DeVito. along with a multi-talented supporting cast. This show reliably brings in mor...
May 1, 2024 · An excellent ensemble cast take on multiple other roles credibly. The familiar music of the show is generously supported by an augmented, screened, onstage band that leans the production more in a show direction than a rock direction.
