smashingasian, thanks for the great review! :) I'm so happy that you met the guys and saw John as Frankie this time. They all sound too good to be true, LOL. I hope you post your pictures.

Funny question, but was it obvious that John was straining a bit on the high notes, or did it strike you because you are already familiar with the show, etc.? I'm glad he's on the mend after being sick so long.

I loved reading this part: I loved how Jennifer Naimo announced, "He's coming, he's coming guys!" and everyone cheered. Then before I knew it I was blinded by flashbulbs and screaming old ladies.

Awesome!

Glad you had a good time, Meryl!

I've noticed that the guys get to the theatre so early. I've seen cast members walking around almost eight hours before showtime!

Little tidbit about the Joe Pesci playing Tommy DeVito thing. In the movie "Goodfellas", his character is named Tommy DeVito because Joey got to pick the name for his character and decided to name him after his good childhood friend. Sorry...Goodfellas is like my favorite movie ever (behind The Godfather)

smashing...I'm glad you had such a good time and got to meet all the boys!!!


I was reading on the thread on the main page about rush being changed and I'm flipping out when reading people are there at like 5 am!!

Perhaps a little insight into the cast of the Jersey Boys tour? From my good friend bdwaygirl...

NPG, I saw the real Frankie last night. At one point he had the current Four Seasons introduce themselves and where they're from. He mentioned how the guys he gets are always so good, it always opens doors for them. Then he said the one guy would be doing the JB tour! His name was Eric, but I don't recall his last name. Of course, I yelled out asking which one, but he didn't hear me.

If it is he could so play Tommy DeVito.

LOL, wow that is pretty early. Maybe that's when they get a chance to answer all the fan mail?

Hooray, I bought the Jersey Boys cast recording today at Target! I'm happy that I finally bought it. JLY is dreeeamy.

It was either Jersey Boys, Tarzan, or Wicked (which I already have). So, obviously, the right choice was JB.

BWW'er Aigoo posted this quote from Maya Angelou on the Share Your Wise Sayings thread and when I read it, it reminded me of JLY.

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you." (Maya Angelou)

I've already heard Can't Take My Eyes Off You many times. It's actually one of my favorite songs. And...not because of JLY. Or Jersey Boys, either! I've loved it for a long time.

And everyone: call me Gav!

Oh and Alejandra- I saw that quote somewhere a while back, and I automatically thought of JLY too! I was thinking of including it in the letter I sent him, but then I forgot, :-P. I'm writing him again very soon though, so maybe I'll remember this time.

And yeah, Fallen Angel is a really beautiful song.

Okay, here's what I think.

In a word, this is...amazing. I loved it a lot! I hope I get to see when it swings by here for the national tour.

It's great to hear that you love it! I knew after I listened to it for the first time that I'd love this show for a long time.

Rachel and I were talking on IM tonight and I asked her if she knew what "Fallen Angel" or what happened in the show before John started to sing it.

So can anyone tell us what happens before he sings it? I'm sure it's a spoiler, but we're curious.
