Jersey Boys Get Sued
Posted on January 15, 2008 (Tammy)
?Jersey Boys? is the musical autobiography of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It?s a gigantic Broadway hit and now, the widow of a man who also wrote the band?s story wants a piece of the million-dollar earnings per week pie of the show.
Donna Corbello, the widow of Rex Conrad Woodard, is suing the ex-lead guitarist and founding member of the band, Tommy DeVito, because she claims that her late husband?s book on DeVito?s life was the basis of ?Jersey Boys? but that she?s been cut out of the profits. She is seeking a declarations that her late husband is the ?joint owner? of that as-yet unpublished book so that she?ll get some windfall from any future profits from ?Jersey Boys?.
