Attending Jersey Boys was a great decision. I finally got to see the hype about these 4 singers. It is such a remarkable story of 4 regular guys that had their dreams come true the moment they started to sing. The uniqueness of their voices was what directly pulled me in as well as the story behind it. You love a story of the underdog. You see an everyday person from a state right next to mine, where I have on vacation numerous times become one of the most famous groups. You see them go from the streets to the big stage of Broadway. It gives you that feeling that anything is possible if you work hard enough. I have heard of references of their songs so much and to hear it in person was breathtaking. Hearing it on the radio doesn’t do the live version justice. The voices being so pure and unique are something you do not hear everyday. It is interesting to see how they used their street knowledge to help them get over adversity. They had many personal challenges like the Mob and gambling problems but they always had each other to get them through it. It was so serious that it almost tore the group apart but that is what friends are for. They are there for you no matter what and they are your backbone. That is why this musical touches the hearts of its viewers because it is so real and authentic. I believe that I enjoyed this mostly due to the fact that it had that Italian taste to it. My favorite genre is Italian crime especially organized and since they had to deal with the Mafia it gave me that aspect.

Going to these Broadway plays has really taught me a lot. It brings me to Li Bo poetry to be honest. I will be away for the whole summer for an internship away from my friends, family and girlfriend. I am doing what Li Bo said and not to be stingy with my money. Yes, I have got a lot of tickets for very cheap but it still cost a decent amount. It is something that makes me happy and it is a way to escape the pressures of classes and the reality of me being away from all my loved ones for 2 and a half months. After reading his poetry I am making sure that I make memories and live my life not worrying about what is to come but to live in the present. I will be alone while I am away but I am ok with that. I wont be lonely because I will be happy with myself and feel a sense that I made the most of personal life before I had to leave.
