Glad you liked LB, Elle. I'm hoping to catch it sometime this summer. :)

Pics are up from Bobby's appearance at After Party, which John also attended...












I think the first one's cute, and John's expression in the fourth is hilarious.

Once Again... My attempt to make a thread has failed. The first Reply I get to it is always negative. WHY??????


Cute pics. I adore the one where he is pointing.

Hey guys! It's great being back... welcome to all the newbies to this thread!

France was amazing, but it's all still a blur in my mind since we crammed in so much in 10 days. I can't wait to go through all my pictures, though! (I took over 700 of them)

I hope everyone had a great week! I love the After Party pics.

Hey guys - have any of you listened to Travis Cloer's JERSEY BOYS demo? What talent! It makes me want to see him as Frankie ASAP. I love his version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You".

YAY! John's beginning a new six-month extension May 1!! This makes me very happy since I'll be in the city in a couple of months. On his blog John writes that he'll be taking a week's break before he starts the extension. Such great news!

Elle--I listened to Travis's stuff on his Myspace page, he really is great!

so hypothetically speaking what are the chances that he'll be in the show on his birthday (july 4) since its a wednesday but there is only one show that day??

[Rachel2789]

If I had to guess, I'd say that he'd be in if it was a one-show day. It's like on Sundays how he does the matinee since it's the only show that day. That's just what I would guess though...

I am so glad to hear about his extending. I was going to go see the show last night to see John for one final time, but since I heard he extended I went and saw Legally Blonde instead.

I'm so bad at not posting. I have had the whole week off and didn't post once.

I'm really happy that John is staying in JB for a little while longer. Hopfully I can see the show again.

That's great about Travis going on next week. Hopfully someone can see the show and post a review.

Hey everyone! I'm soooo happy to hear the news about John extending his contract! I was saying "yes!" for like 4 hours! lol.

Hey everyone! So happy to be back on the JLY thread. I've been having computer problems (I'm borrowing a laptop to type this, actually). So if I'm MIA for a little while, that's why.

I'm thrilled that John's staying in JB, too! My friend's co-worker will see Jersey Boys this summer, and I was sad that she wouldn't get to see John as Frankie. Now it looks like she will. I mentioned that the cast is supernice too.

I got mail from JLY today. Yay! It's always great to hear back from him.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (April 27/May 4), a double issue with Spider-Man on the cover, talks about JERSEY BOYS in a sidebar (p. 121). Above the text is a pic of JLY as Frankie. Here's what it says (hope I don't get in trouble for posting the blurb in its entirety):

ASK THE CRITIC
Owen Gleiberman

Q: With HAIRSPRAY hitting theatres this summer, Sweeney Todd already in production, and Mamma Mia about to roll, what Broadway musical, past or present, would you like to see get the Hollywood treatment?

A: On stage, JERSEY BOYS (above), is the greatest jukebox musical--ever. Yet it didn't strike me, at first, as a likely candidate for a movie makeover. It's not really a conventional biopic of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It's more like a Behind the Music episode miraculously turned into a spinning, whirling rock-history fantasia. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized that what's magical about Jersey Boys could, with the proper innovative treatment, result in a new kind of movie musical: a docu-pop kaleidoscope that takes the audience on a star-spangled nostalgic head trip. The key test for jukebox musicals will, of course, be Mamma Mia!, with its flimsy plot and sublime songs. If ABBA can draw significant crowds, I wouldn't count out the Four Seasons working their way back to you on the big screen.

Thanks for the Entertainment Weekly blurb Judy.

Here is a picture of my niece, Lizzie wearing the Jersey Boys hat John gave me when I saw the show a few weeks ago.



I should wear the hat to school sometime this week. But I have to worry about the preschoolers in my Child Study class. They love to wear the high school kids baseball hats.
