Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons subject of De Montfort show

-

IN A critically acclaimed production, Let’s Hang On takes you on a musical journey through the prolific career of one of the most successful bands of all time, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

Coming to the De Montfort Hall in Leicester on Saturday, September 29, you will hear the story of these bluecollar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who wrote their own songs invented their own sound and took the world by storm all before the age of 30.

In the first part of the show, Let’s Hang On takes you back to the very beginning where it all began for these guys.

You’ll hear tracks from the early 50s when Frankie first joined the group and then with the addition of Bob Gaudio still recognised today as one of the greatest songwriter­s of all time, you’re treated to even more classic early material recreated live on stage.

Also in this first section of the show Let’s Hang On do something that is very rarely attempted in any live performanc­e, and that’s accapella singing - the stage is transforme­d into a street corner in New Jersey, four guys sitting on some steps under a street lamp singing doo wop got industry critics writing.

In the second part of the show it’s simply party time, all of your favourite hits non stop. You really are guaranteed to be dancing in the aisles and singing at the top of your voices to Dec 63, Beggin’, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Grease, Working My Way Back To You, Who Loves You, Bye Bye Baby and many more.

The whole show leads up to an electrifyi­ng finale when out come the famous red jackets and you hear that legendary falsetto vocal blow the roof off with Rag Doll, Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Big Girls Don’t Cry.

This really is a show for all the family.
