When the musical Jersey Boys opened on Broadway nearly a decade ago, it turned the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons into Tony-winning musical-theater gold — which isn’t all that surprising, considering the show drew from the Four Seasons’ already proven catalog of music. For the play’s movie adaptation, Clint Eastwood directs a cast of stage vets — relative Hollywood newcomers — led by John Lloyd Young, with the exception of Christopher Walken as mobster Angelo ‘Gyp’ DeCarlo. The movie will be in theaters on June 20. The songs will be stuck in your head…now.
