You’ll laugh, sing along, and maybe get swept up by the energy of Blackpool’s Jersey Beats Oh What A Nite! show. Expect classic Frankie Valli hits, sharp comedy from Leye D Johns, dazzling dancers, and reserved seating so you can relax right into the music. It’s more than a tribute — it feels like joining in on something big.
“You know it’s going to be a good night when the first thing you hear is someone behind you humming ‘Sherry’ before the lights even go down. We’d barely settled into our seats at Viva Blackpool (reserved, thankfully — I’m not fighting anyone for a spot) when Leye D Johns bounced onto the stage in sequins that probably have their own postcode. He winked at my mum and made some joke about hair rollers. The whole room just loosened up after that, like everyone remembered they were here to have fun, not sit stiffly through a concert.
I didn’t expect to actually get goosebumps from ‘Beggin’, but there’s something about four guys nailing those harmonies live — Matt as Frankie really gets the high notes, and Johnny (Nick) had this cheeky grin like he was daring us not to sing along. The dancers swept past so close I caught a whiff of hairspray and something floral. At one point, they threw in ‘Grease’ and suddenly half the crowd was clapping off-beat (myself included). It’s all pretty fast-paced — no time to check your phone or wonder what’s next. There’s an interval halfway through for drinks or just catching your breath.
The lighting is wild — lasers bouncing around, giant LED screens flickering with old-school footage. It’s loud but never harsh; you feel it in your chest more than your ears. Leye kept popping up with these ridiculous one-liners between numbers (“I tried singing like Frankie once… nearly lost my trousers!”), and people just kept laughing. I glanced over at my dad during ‘My Eyes Adored You’ and he looked weirdly emotional — maybe it’s nostalgia, or maybe it was just nice seeing everyone together, singing songs we all sort of know by heart.
