The Chicago theater scene has been blessed of late with a raft of high-quality jukebox musicals: the Black Ensemble Theater showcased R&B crooners, the Drury Lane brought Buddy Holly back, and the Apollo's hit Million Dollar Quartet is headed to Broadway. But the road to Broadway runs both ways, as the midtown smash Jersey Boys continues to draw enthusiastic crowds here. The money fairly drips off the stage in this powerhouse account of the rise of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Younger showgoers might be surprised at the band's sheer number of familiar hits; their parents will just be singing along.
