Country queen Carrie Underwood, who beat all four of her male competitors to win the Entertainer of the Year Award at last night’s 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, decided that the musical Jersey Boys was the one show she had to see while in Las Vegas.

The American Idol Season 4 champion attended the late show of the hit production at the Palazzo last night and afterward went backstage to congratulate the cast, who in turn congratulated her!

The first anniversary of Jersey Boys, the story of pop hit giants Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, at the Palazzo will be celebrated May 3.
