OK, OK. The song is actually "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" but you get where I was going.
Turns out fans of the Broadway smash "Jersey Boys" can enjoy days and days of the original Four Seasons songs when Rhino Records releases a boxed set on June 5 called "Jersey Beat -The Music of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons." It includes 76 tracks and will also include a DVD of rare live performances. Jersey Beat. Like Mersey Beat. Get it? AngelaL/TBPAC

Spellers, your word is improv
In live theater, almost anything can happen. And when it does, frequently you have to improvise.
Last night I learned the improv history behind the "Putnam County Spelling Bee" school cheer.
If you've seen the touring show, you'll probably remember that "Rona Lisa Peretti" starts the show by teaching the audience a little school cheer. It's rather amusing and gets the audience involved.
Well, apparently this bit was added shortly after their stop in Baltimore. While in the middle of the show, the audio board (which controls everyone's mics) crashed.
Since the board is run by a computer, "Rona Lisa" was told she needed to fill about seven to 10 minutes while the computer rebooted.
That's an eternity on stage. But, being a pro, and because of the nature of the show, she decided to interact with the audience and teach them a little school cheer.
Soon after, the cheer was incorporated into the touring production!

And check out cast members of "Spelling Bee" on this morning’s Studio 10.
