How often does a touring cast get to appear on a high profile talk show? Good for them.

That's what I thought! It seems unprecedented.
But very welcome. :)

I marked the date on my calendar. Can't wait to see them on the show.

And in Eric Gutman's blog ( http://theguter.blogspot.com/ ) entry about the Leno appearance he mentions that they may announce some other big news.

I guess they didn't want to wait 'til they got to LA!

I've seen the S.F. production twice. Erich Bergen's performance is amazing. Can't wait to see them on Leno.

I can't wait to see them on Leno! And I'm curious as to what this big news is about...

Oh lots of high profile touring productions have appeared on late night talk shows: WICKED, LES MIZ, CATS, PHANTOM etc.

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 1:53am

But not usually when they have to fly 40 minutes to get to the studio.

Erich said he was going to update GRR on Friday after the show, but he hasn't yet! Emo tears!!!

Watching the dress rehearsal here at the studio...They are going all out..entire cast is there.

ONE QUESTION:

The guy playing the JYL part (frankie v). Same weird face as JYL, squinting (and not just the high notes). WHAT GIVES? Uber annoying.

[alastor]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 4:59pm

I didn't notice that during the show. Maybe you need to squint a little when you are singing as high as Frankie Valli! Chris Jones is great though, squinting or not:)

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 5:03pm

I beg to differ! Chris Jones' weird face is far, far less annoying than JLY's, and it doesn't include the Eyebrows With a Life of Their Own, either.

Posted: 3/19/07 at 5:12pm

Chris Jones has some weird ear things too. Good voice, though.

[shesamarshmallow]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 5:14pm

I love how Chris's face gets less squinty and scowly as Frankie gets older. I basically love Chris overall. I'm so excited for tonight!!

ok, question? is this the current touring cast or the one that is the new "sit-down" cast for San Fran?

[obsessedjb]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 7:51pm

what face are you guys talking about?? I've never seen it. JLY is adorable though.

[LizzieCurry]

is this the current touring cast or the one that is the new "sit-down" cast for San Fran?

There is no current touring cast.

Erich Bergen posted on his blog on how things are going at the studio and a few picture. I can't wait to see them preform tonight.

Haha, taking a picture of himself in the mirror. He's such a MySpacer. I'm so freaking excited for tonight!

As for the tour question, the cast that is in SF now leaves for LA in May as part of the first national tour. If the SF run turns into an open run there'll be a new cast then.
