Today was a good day, guys.
As I've mentioned before, my mom and I have season tickets to a theater in Seattle, which gives me an excuse to come home every few weeks. Today we saw Jersey Boys, which is about how the band Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons rose to fame. It was AMAZING.
I didn't know a lot about the show going in, but I had heard from people who had seen it before that it was a great show...and they did not let me down.
The music in the show is completely comprised of songs from The Four Seasons (with a few others sprinkled in). It's not a comedy by any means; in fact, there were some pretty dark parts of the story (including Frankie Valli agreeing to help pay off Tommy DeVito's half-million dollar debt). But the energy of this show was amazing. One of my favorite parts of the show was toward the end of the first act, when the Four Seasons really begin to get famous, they sing three of the band's most well-known songs consecutively "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", and "Walk Like A Man". There was this huge surge of energy that just kept building and building. I don't think I've been this excited about a new show (to me, at least) in a really long time.
And the best part is that the story is completely true.
And then we went out to dinner with some people who actually went to the show with us as well. My mom's best friend (who's she's known since college) and her family came with, and we talked and ate really delicious food and it was the best.
I really do think that things are getting better for me. I really do.
