Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

1 upcoming performance in New York

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” sits at the crossroads of 1960s rock/pop and big-city romantic theatre, built on a quiet verse that opens into a brass-heavy chorus. First introduced to mass audiences through New York–area radio and television in 1967, it became part of the region’s soundtrack as Frankie Valli’s voice carried beyond his Newark roots. At NJPAC, it appears within “The Last Encores,” tracing the hit years of Valli and The Four Seasons. Its tight structure shows how pop craft can borrow the scale of Broadway without losing directness.
