From <em>Sherry </em>to <em>Big Girls Don't Cry </em>to <em>December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)</em>, there is no shortage of musical hits from The Four Seasons. Starring in a lead role as Frankie Valli in <em>Jersey Boys</em>, British stage actor Jonathan Vickers is no stranger to their hit songs, so we asked him to share his five favourites by the group with us. <em>Jersey Boys</em> is showing at Dubai Opera from October 11-14. <strong>Sherry</strong> It's probably the band's most recognisable song, and it's the number that really kick-started their time as a world-renowned act. The tune has got an incredibly punchy lead vocal line, which is a real joy to sing. <em><strong>Fallen Angel</strong></em> In terms of style, this song is entirely different to <em>Sherry</em>. It's a ballad with a whole load of heart. The lyrics are very beautiful and tell a very compelling story; as an actor it's great to have such rich, poetic lyrics to draw from. <em><strong>I Can't Take My Eyes Off You </strong></em> A one-of-a-kind number. It's without a doubt one of the most famous songs in the world, and an absolute privilege to perform. A beautiful melody, fantastic lyrics … there's nothing not to like. It's a spine-tingling part of the show I always look forward to. <em><strong>Walk Like A Man </strong></em> The most famous vocal line in the show! You can feel the audience shift in their seats as the intro to this one starts; they always look forward to hearing that soaring falsetto line. The chorus is incredibly energised and the song feels fresh, like it could've been written today. <em><strong>My Eyes Adored You</strong></em> Another wonderful ballad. This number is soaked in emotion and once again tells a heartfelt story. This song helps to demonstrate the reason why The Four Seasons are one of the all time great American bands — visceral, potent lyrics, set against beautiful melodies. What an honour to get to perform these incredible songs. <em>Tickets are still available for Jersey Boys at Dubai Opera.
