Tonight I was able to attend the Jersey Boys Tour at Miller Auditorium with my friend, Elaine.
Now if it had not been for my husband I would not know who the Jersey Boys were. He was the fan. I could take on stroll down the country lane but not rock n roll - - back then anyway. So the house rang with music from the early days of rock n roll to even some Pink Floyd. We seen the Beach Boys when they came to Muskegon and Chicago and other artists if it was to rocky the kids went with him.
I was watching the Emmy's 2007 and there was the Jersey Boys singing to outtakes of the Sopranos. This is what started the quest. I did what any computer savvy person would do and Googled the Jersey Boys found out about the Broadway play and knew it would have been something we would have enjoyed together. Seeing that it would be in Chicago in 08 I thought it would be a great 50th Birthday present. Well that did not happen because of knee surgery and short on funds and other hoops. The production left Chicago in 2010.
2011 I see an ad when I am in Lansing with Tim that the Jersey Boy production will be Lansing. I tried to get Tim to go with me but he was not all that interested. So I began to plan other options and started asking around to see who might be interested and the play would be there in October and November but once again I didn't get there. Then I seen the dates for the rest of the tour and when the play would be in Kalamazoo and it was after tax time so...
So I asked Elaine and she said yes and the planning began for tonight's the quest. Tickets are ordered and the date is set. The show was fantastic! Mike would have liked it and it was a great time. Memories flooded my mind. The good ones.
Sometime and somewhere between heaven and earth that veil parted.
Oh, what a night!
