Very rarely am I able to use expressions like heartwarming and unmissable about musicals with the sincerity and integrity that I apply to my critical reviews.

Review written in March 2008. In fact it ran for nine years with a transfer to the Piccadilly Theatre. The story of their background from blue collar workers of New Jersey, some with a record for small time crime to stardom is very different. The thing is that the real story of these New Jersey boys is interesting enough to form the book of a musical without resorting to unlikely story lines designed to “fit” existing lyrics.
