Thanks guys. I'm fine. I spent all weekend watching movies. (Stay, Just Friends, King Kong, and A Sound of Thunder) so I'm feeling pretty good.

Now, I know this is a threadjack but does anyone here watch Grey's Anatomy? How hot was the end of that last ep?! OMG! I love Alex, sososososososo much.

Glad you're feeling better, but I'm a George girl!

LOL NPG and I are thinking of ways to come up with at least $7500 to win the bid for a JB walk-on role. We already have our scenes picked out and what we'd swipe backstage. Now we just need the cash! So far, we've come up with buying lotto tickets and hoping to win, selling our cars, requesting donations from people on our buddy lists and friends on myspace, oh, and selling our souls! hahaha

lol, Broadway Betty. OH YEAH! George is still the cutest frigging thing ever. lol. My friend and I fight about it all the time, cause she loves Derek, but I'm a George (and definitely Alex at times) fan. lol

I saw that auction. I was like "Holy ****. That's WAY too much....but if I had that kinda money..I'd do it." lol

Ok...You all remember that book I was talking about making for the cast? I was wondering if anybody was planning to participate in that? If you are, you can e-mail me your submission at [e-mail] (Please put Jersey Boys in the subject line) or if you'd rather send it through normal mail, pm me and I'll give you my address.


Ok, but here's the big thing. Somebody brought something up regarding the book that I'm ashamed to admit I'd never thought about. Who keeps the book when the contracts start to expire. Several people were thought of (including all 4 of the boys), and Erica Piccinnini as a wedding gift.

What do you guys think? Any ideas?

[jerseyboyslover]

I think giving it to John is a good idea. Are you taking it to them in person?

[popular_elphie]

Posted: 4/12/06 at 3:29pm

Maybe the stage manager, even. He can keep it backstage for the cast to look through when they feel like it.

[jerseyboyslover]

Posted: 4/12/06 at 4:22pm

good idea, but what about when they are off broadway? I hope that does not happen for a while. I still need to see it.

[Brokenlizard14]

Popular_Elphie,

That's not a bad idea actually. I LOVE the stage manager at the August Wilson Theater...I think his name is Kevin, but I can't really remember. lol. He was a sweetie though. Oh no wait...I'm slow, that's the guy at the stage DOOR. lol

So right now it's either John, Erica, or the stage manager (to keep it at the theater). Any other suggestions?

What pictures do you have? I have some of the four girls, marshall brickman, rick elice and i have a blog post from john and christian, but the one from chrisatian has my name in it.

I have the boys, peter, mark, and Sarah. I'll take anything you want to put in

Do you want me to e-mail them to you or send them snail mail?

Bumping this thread up! It's still my favorite.

Saw the show again Sunday - full cast, and wonderful as always. The cast has raised a TON for BC/EFA.

[Brokenlizard14]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 7:09am

Yeah! I mean, look at how much John has raised by himself.

Does anyone know if the dinner for two w/ the boys, or the walk-on role have gone yet? I'm not interested in bidding (Don't have that much money), just want to know how much they go for. lol

[DreamFlyer22]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 7:45am

The walk-on role went for $8,100 and the bidding closed yesterday, I think. There's at least one bid for the dinner for two with 'da boys' at the minimum bid of $5,000. *sighs* What I wouldn't give for an extra few thousand hanging around in my bank account right about now.

Geez! Too bad the lottery isn't easier to win..:)

[popular_elphie]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 10:37am

I wish I had the money for those things! Dinner with the boys seems like it'd be fun.

I wonder how much the other shows have raised! It would be awesome for JB to win the Easter Bonnet.

[Brokenlizard14]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 1:08pm

The easter bonnet?

Sorry about the threadjack here, but since I'm kind of new to the whole Broadway thing, I was hoping maybe you guys could recommend some good cast recordings for me to get.

Right now I'm looking at Little Shop of Horrors (the 2003 revival), because we're watching the movie in my film studies class, and I love Hunter Foster's "Suddenly Seymour".

I also have Jersey Boys (obviously), Sweeney Todd (the revival), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Wicked, RENT (both the obcr, and movie soundtrack), The Last 5 Years, and some tracks from 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Hairspray (just Run and Tell That, and It Takes Two), and a Light in the Piazza (Fable, The Beauty Is, Say it Somehow, and Love to Me) that I got off ITunes.

So, going by what I like, anything you guys would recommend for me?

[new_philosophy_girl]

popular_elphie - I think Jersey Boys may have a great shot at winning the easter bonnet. They definitely had some of the most creative ideas for fundraising and I swear JLY was like on a mission for BC/EFA.

brokenlizard - I would suggest Piazza. Its my fave, so I'm a lil biased. Umm...Chicago is pretty good too, you would probably like that.

Posted: 4/19/06 at 1:35pm

Broken Lizard - because it would be only one book for so many people, dedicate it to the whole class and let the theater keep it backstage, as a reminder to each replacement cast member how big the shoes are that they're trying to fill. Include printouts of the rave reviews the cast, especially JLY has gotten, the Tony awards they will win, Christian on All My Children, Erica getting proposed to On Stage, Longoria's perfect Pesci impression, examples of honest very emotional postings on this and other JB fan sites where the show or the soundtrack brings people to tears, as a reminder to future cast members just how beloved they were and will always be. =) Besides, not everyone in the cast has an apartment big enough to hold a photo album as gargantuum as the one you're going to make... so best if the theater keeps it as a momento. =)

Ok guys, I have a new idea for this book I'm working on. The letters/pictures idea didn't really take off, since Kathryn was the only one who submitted anything. What about this:

Everybody write something: How you first heard about Jersey Boys? What was your reaction when you saw it for the first time? How many times have you seen it since? Favorite scene/line? What is it about the show that made you fall in love with it? Favorite song? (Not just 4 Seasons ones, but favorite song in the show)
If you want to single out an actor/actress, go ahead, but keep in mind that it's being sent to the entire cast, so they'll all read what you've written.

And when you send them, if you want to include a picture either from your favorite scene, your favorite castmember, the original 4 Seasons, or you with any of the castmembers, feel free. You can PM them to me (or e-mail me at [e-mail]) and I'll print them off.

What do you guys think? Any good?

I'd really appreciate it though, if you guys could send these in ASAP. I don't know how long it will take me to work on it, but the guys only have 6 months left on their contracts. Thanks!

~Erin~

Edit: Jersey Girl, I didn't see your post till after I did. That's a great idea, cause they are big shoes the replacements will have to fill. What do you guys think? I really do want your opinions, because the book isn't from me, it's from the entire Jersey Boys fanbase. lol That sounds so incredibly cheesy but it's true.

So seriously, let me know what you think, cause I really do like Jersey Girl's idea. Updated On: 4/19/06 at 01:36 PM

No Problem, BL! I was beginning to think - with all the little studio apartments and everyone in NYC squishing into inhumanely small spaces just to live in NY, a book the size of a coffee table, though sentimental, isn't practical. =) Limit your fan's responses to 100 words or less, and include a picture, also, as the author, include the shining moments of the show's life - from articles at La Jolla, to tony awards and beyond. You can prepare it for Oct 3 or Nov 6, to mark the one year anniversary of one of the most successful and surprise break-out shows of the year. Wheeeee! Totally. =)

[jerseyboyslover]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 4:44pm

I think that is a great idea Erin, I have not seen the show but I am now e-mailing daniel and Michael, christian and john so i think that i can come up with some nice thing's to say.

[new_philosophy_girl]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 4:49pm

Erin, I'm so bad with writing things and such. I seem to be that person who wants to spill her soul about how much I love something (or someone) and I end up saying, "you guys rock" or some dumbass thing like that. So if you give me a few to formulate a nice paragraph or something for them, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

[Brokenlizard14]

Posted: 4/19/06 at 11:56pm

Well, I don't have much, but here's some things for ya:

Name:
Age:
Hometown:

1) How did you hear about the show?
2) What was your reaction when you heard the cast recording?
3) What was your reaction when you saw the show for the first time?
4) What was it about the show that made you fall in love with it?
5) Do you have a favorite song on the cast recording? What is it/Why?
6) Do you have a favorite moment/line in the show? What is it/Why?
7) Is there anything you'd like to say to the cast?

And if possible, I'd love for everyone to include just one picture (Please send me all this through pm or [e-mail]) whether it be a favorite cast member (any picture-from the show, or otherwise-is welcome), a picture from your favorite scene, a picture you took of the theater, or you with any of the cast members. It's all welcome.


I'd like for everybody who's been posting in this thread to do that form. Please? lol...I love you guys.

~Erin~
