FSB Travelers Enjoy Production of Jersey Boys
Enjoy this amazing show by getting tickets from www.Official-Tickets.com
Members of FSB Travelers and their guests traveled to Houston last Saturday for lunch and a musical.
The day began with a delicious lunch at the Artista Restaurant located inside the Hobby Center in the Arts District of Houston. Each traveler made selections from the menu and were served the appetizer, entree, and dessert of their choice. Whether the traveler chose the chicken, the beef, or the shrimp for their entree, everyone raved about the taste and the presentation of their meal. The attentive servers completed the positive experience.
Everyone then settled in to enjoy Jersey Boys, the 2006 Tony Awards winner for best musical. Jersey Boys is the story of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. This musical group entertained America during the 1950’s and 1960’s with such hits as Silhouettes, I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Earth Angel, Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like A Man, My Eyes Adored You, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Rag Doll and many more.
Often times as the group began singing a particular song, the audience would applaud and cheer as the memories poured out of times gone by.
The stars in the production were Christopher Kale Jones as Franki Valli, Steve Gouvela as Nick Massi, Erik Bates as Tommy DeVito, and Andrew Ranells as Bob Gaudio. Erik Bates actually sang with the real Franki Valli as a touring member of the Four Seasons. Steve Gouvela has been with Jersey Boys since it began in 2004. As a musician, Mr. Gouvela played for Franki Valli as well as The Doors, Manfred Mann, and other groups. Christopher Kale Jones has been singing soprano since he was in the first grade. It seems like this part was made for him. The credits of the stars and the supporting cast include many productions on stage and television.
Those participating in this trip were: Robert and Pris Bautista, Barbara Bonner, Amanda Burleson, Doris Casey, Rose Kubulan, Loy Newberry, Sue Richards, Edith Scott, Lynn Shaver, Mary Stephenson, Dell Terry from Fairfield; Jim and Diana Bradley, Annette Brannan, Linda Collins, Dalton Longenbaugh, Glenda Nelson, Barbara Rader from Groesbeck; Anna Steele from Marlin; Kris and Maranda Gauze from Killeen; Kay Forman from Mexia; Mable Lene Curry from Thornton.
