Good morning, Geauga County. The unmistakable falsetto of "Sherry" is echoing through the halls of Chagrin Valley Little Theatre, where "Jersey Boys" is transporting audiences back to the heyday of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Eric Mortenson's pitch-perfect performance is drawing crowds to this jukebox musical sensation, though you'll want to plan your visit soon â both seats and parking spaces are filling up faster than a 1960s dance floor for this limited run through April 6.
While flames tragically consumed Nature's Nook Salvage in Middlefield Township last week, a different kind of fire is burning in Cleveland's music scene. Young talent between 15-29 years old is stepping into the spotlight at "Grog Shop Idol," where aspiring musicians are vying for cash prizes and coveted headlining slots. The competition, brainchild of venue owner Kathy Blackman, promises to uncover the next generation of local stars â no recording contracts required, just raw Northeast Ohio talent.

âī¸ What's Brewing Locally
đ "Jersey Boys" brings Four Seasons magic to Chagrin Valley. This jukebox musical featuring Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' hits is delighting audiences at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre through April 6. Eric Mortenson steals the show with his perfect falsetto as Frankie Valli, supported by a talented cast that captures the group's distinctive sound. While the production may not perfectly mirror the real-life musicians' appearances, the excellent boy band choreography and memorable songs like "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" have audiences singing along. Reviewer Roy Berko advises booking early due to limited parking.
đĨ Rural salvage store burns to the ground in Middlefield Township. The accidental fire destroyed Nature's Nook Salvage and Grocery on March 14, starting when someone's trash burning got out of control. Firefighters battled challenging conditions including no hydrants, flammable inventory, and toxic smoke from burning Styrofoam. Two firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation, but the building was a total loss despite efforts from multiple departments who worked until 9pm to extinguish the flames.
