'It Was Not a Valentine': An oral history of Jersey Boys

Frankie Valli and his legendary band found a second life—and a place in Las Vegas lore—as a hit musical. Now a third life might beckon on the big screen.

Just a Little Bit Longer

Investigating Jersey Boys’ success on its two-year anniversary

The 1963 Oldsmobile rounds the curve of a wooded highway. Rumbling drums build to the half-time claps and immortal lyrics of “Big Girls Don’t Cry” as the car speeds forward and then swooshes into the horizon. Biiiiig Giiirrrlllls Donnnn’t Cryyyyyy. Cut to the car’s interior and the first musical interlude. Read more »
