Celebrate the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons with Frankie’s Guys at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester this weekend.

This fast-paced, energetic production brings the talented foursome to the stage to relive an era of timeless classic hits such as Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes of You, Sherry and Oh What A Night.

We caught up with performer David Greigo to tell us about the show.

Frankie's Guys is at the Mercury Theatre, Colchester, on Saturday, February 17, at 7.30pm. For tickets call 01206 573948 or go online at mercurytheatre.co.uk

How did you end up being part of the show?

“Frankie’s Guys was formed after the huge success of Frankie Valli’s come back with both his own solo tours and Jersey Boys the movie and Broadway musical.

"We wanted to create a concert version of the show, with all the music people know and love.”

Have you ever seen any of the original artists live and if so how do they compare to your concerts?

“We keep missing Frankie Valli’s tours here in the UK as we are always touring ourselves - it’s certainly on the bucket list.”

What is your favourite track from the band?

“We all have different favourites but we all love performing our show opening, Oh What A Night!”

Tell us a little more about the band members and how you got together?

“A few of us have been singing together for many years, it just so happened that one of us happened to be only 5 foot tall and sings like a girl (Joke). We always loved singing in four part harmony and the Four Seasons music was the perfect fit for us.”

What preparation do you need to do to get ready for the performance?

“Rehearse! Rehearse!! Rehearse! A big part of our show is our dance routines and we like them to be ultra-polished and slick so no matter where we go or how many times we do the show we always rehearse before every performance.”

What can the audience expect from attending one of your concerts?

“Great music and lots of fun, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and we realise that the people who have spent their hard earned money in general just want a great night out, and we work tirelessly to give them just that. We have lots of energy so during the show we always try and get the crowd involved.”

What do you enjoy most about the performances?

“The audiences make our shows, we love them!!! We have had people travel from all over the world to watch us perform and the love just keeps on spreading. One of our favourite parts of any show is always the interaction with the crowds, we tell jokes, funny and un-funny and we always get people involved… it’s the best!”

What has been the highlight of your career so far?

“We recently got to perform and travel to the other side of the world to destinations such as, South Africa, Australia and South America. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Another highlight has to be seeing so many familiar faces in the crowds at all our shows and building up such a loving and loyal fan-base.”
