What was rush been like on the weekends in SF? I haven't seen it in a while...

poor Jarrod! didnt that happen to Chris once not long after the Sherry cast started their run? Yup, I was there for that. It was in February. It was my first (and only) time seeing it from non-rush seats. I was in the 9th row orchestra and a lot of people noticed. And Frankie hardly ever leaves the stage during the second act! I remember during curtain call, just before the boys run off stage, he pretended to check his fly. Very funny. I'm glad everyone likes the new cast! I'm seeing them soo...

Oh and I have to say it was great meeting a bunch of other regulars in the rush line today It was great meeting you, too! I had a lot of fun seeing the show with the Sherry cast one last time. Oh, how I will miss this cast. They were awesome today. They've really grown into their roles. I missed seeing Erich, too. When I looked in and saw nobody else listed to play his part on the "At the Performance" board, I was sure we'd get to see him. I hope he gets better! The audience just wouldn't all...

Anybody have the lyrics for Bounce? Specifically, for "Boca Raton"? Thank you!

They still don't have any clips up of Jason Celaya... They better start showing him on the show. He's my only reason for watching.

I'm so jealous! Too much fun in only 5 days! :) Thanks for the reviews!

7:35? Rush tickets are sold 2 hours prior to the show... what were they waiting for? And have the scalpers already hit JB in SF? I haven't rushed since late December, but when I did [on a Thursday], the first people in line got there 4 hours before the show [2 hours before the tickets would go on sale].

Do actors mind when you try to catch them before a show? I would imagine it to be kind of awkward. Standing there as they are trying to walk in...

I didn't know that... that's pretty cool.

Does anybody know when Jarrod goes on for Frankie? I would love to see him in the role.

I loved their performance for New Years! I thought they were great. "Beggin'" is one of my favorite songs. And for the record, I love the faces JLY makes when he's singing. It bothered me, too, when Ryan Seacrest only said "Tony winner" for JLY. Then again, I really don't think he watches the Tonys, so I guess he was just given the wrong information.

Yeah, REALLY good photo :)

Emily, great photo with Erich! He's always nice at the stagedoor. Bway4life, I think the best time to get souvenirs is at intermission. The lobby is always really crowded before the show. The stage door is on the left when you're walking out. It's just on the side of the theatre. There's no actual door, but that's where you meet the cast. The guys usually come out pretty quickly. You have to wait a while longer for Christopher Kale Jones [Frankie Valli] since he has some vocal exercises after...

Bumping this to ask a question... I saw a commercial on TV earlier and I'm pretty sure I saw Jason Celaya [played Matthew in Altar Boyz] auditioning. Does anybody know if it's him? I only saw him for a second in the commercial, so I'm not sure. If it is, I'm really, really excited for this show. He's one of my favorite Altar Boyz.

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. The original four seasons joined the cast on stage after bows.

True. I guess it also has to do with preference. I like sitting up close and seeing the actors' expressions. It doesn't bother me too much that I can't see some parts or that the lights are pretty bright during "Dawn." You're right though, if someone has the money and it's their first time seeing the show, they should avoid the first front rows.

I've seen the show twice from the rush seats and I think they're still worth it. There are really bright lights at the back of the stage which are only on during the end of "Dawn", when the Boys perform to the back of the stage. You can't see the actors when they're standing towards the back, but it's really cool when they're standing right at the edge of the stage [which is during many songs]. If your only chance at seeing the show is through rush, definitely go for it. I saw the show openin...

I was there opening night and loved the show [once again!]. I walked in and saw Frankie Valli in the audience. People were talking with him, but I was too shy to go up to him. It was fun seeing the cast up there with the originals at the end. I had so much fun! Those guys are all amazing. Another review: http://www.insidebayarea.com/entertainment/ci_4820006 I think they'll all be posted at the JB Blog.

Hey, broadwaybelter, we saw the same show! I heard him say that, too. That would be great... The staircase is definitely annoying if you are sitting with it right in front of you. I've seen JB in both SF and NYC, and I think the staircase is worse in NYC. I sat behind it in NYC, but couldn't complain too much... tickets to a great show for only $26.50. HumATune, I think it's more fun to see the show with zero knowledge of the backstory of the Four Seasons. Everyone knows the songs and it's in...

Jimnysf, thank you so much for your help! I was actually able to see the matinee today because of you! I'm so happy I was able to go and get tickets. I had planned to get there a little bit earlier than 11, but ended up getting there late, at around 11:15. I was the first one there, but people started coming after that. I was so worried that I wouldn't get tickets! I loved the show. I have seen the Bway cast twice and didn't know how the touring cast would be. They were so great. So much ener...
