Review: ‘Jersey Boys’

At the Inlander, reviewer E.J. Ianelli writes of the "Jersey Boys" production at Spokane's INB Performing Arts Center that runs through Sunday:
Jersey Boys is big on music (its chief strength, as it ought to be for a jukebox musical), big on razzle-dazzle (not an inch of fly space goes unused, and the lighting is blinding) and big on gratuitous profanity (because the f-word in profusion is inherently funny, right?), but it skims through an otherwise compelling backstory at a pace that’s positively merciless. This unrelenting rush of sight and sound might have been both desirable and necessary. It’s no secret that the audience dominated by Baby Boomers will have arrived hungry for quality Seasons covers. And how else can one cram in 34 musical numbers to sate that cumulative appetite? More here.
Question: I know Cindy & Christa saw "Jersey Boys." Anyone else? Thoughts?
