"JERSEY BOYS", AUGUST 23, 2008

HI EVERYONE,

I SAW THE MOST WONDERFUL SHOW LAST NIGHT AT THE BANK OF AMERICA THEATRE IN CHICAGO, CALLED "JERSEY BOYS"!!! WOW IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THIS ONE....GO! IT WAS REALLY GREAT! I TURN 50 THIS WEDNESDAY, SO HUBBY SURPRISED ME WITH DINNER AND THE JERSEY BOYS SHOW LAST NIGHT...ALL I CAN SAY IS "OH WHAT A NIGHT!!!" COULD NOT TAKE PICS IN THEATRE, BUT DID TAKE SOME OF MY HOMETOWN, CHICAGO... THIS FIRST PICTURE IS OF ME AND MY SWEETHEART, DAVE, "OUT TO DINNER".. THE NEXT ONE IS OF A STREET IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, NEAR THE CHICAGO RIVER. THE NEXT ONE ARE BUILDING RIGHT ALONG THE CHICAGO RIVER. THE HONEYCOMB BUILDING IS ACTUALLY A PARKING GARAGE AND THE CONDO'S ARE ON THE TOP OF THE BUILDING, IT'S A BIG ONE! NOW WE ARE CLOWNING AROUND TRYING TO GET THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS IN THE BACKGROUND ALONG MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO... THEN THERE IS "BUCKINGHAM FOUNTAIN" (HAD TO GET A SHOT OF THAT ONE)...MORE FLOWERS AT GRANT PARK AND THEN ON TO THE LAKEFRONT WHICH CAN BE SEEN AS YOU DRIVE ALONG LAKE SHORE DRIVE, ALTHOUGH, WE LEFT CAR AND WALKED ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN AND THE RAIN HELD OFF, BUT BOY WAS IT MUGGY. IT WAS STILL IN THE 80 DEGREES AND IT WAS AFTER 6:00 P.M., SO A HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY...THEN WALKED BACK TO THE THEATRE TO SEE THE SHOW. TOOK A PICTURE OF THE PROGRAM AND PLAYBILL... IF ANY OF YOU GET A CHANCE, SERIOUSLY, SEE THIS PLAY IT WAS REALLY GREAT AND THE SIGNING SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL FRANKIE VALI! THANK YOU DAVE AND KIDS FOR A WONDERFUL TREAT!!! LOVE AND HUGS, MOM (MARY)
