Wow...Kathryn, when do you think you'd be going? I think you should mention to the boys that you might be meeting them? I'm sure they would love to meet you! I really hope it works out.
I am not sure when I will be going.
I told John in a myspace message that I may be coming up there, I am just going to have to wait and see if I get to go, I hope I do.
*edit* I was just thinking, we should come up with a name for us, yeah I know it sound stupid but I think it would be cute, just a name for those of us who post on this thread, what do you all think?
Thanks everyone it was such a great day!
But one problem, I could NOT find the Jersey Boys table at all!!! I think it was just too darn crowded I couldn't see where I was walking LOL! I missed Jennifer and Matt Oh well!
Kathryn, I hope you get to go! That would be neat!

Welcome to the thread, ragdoll4390! :) Kathryn, great idea to repost all names!
Through a database I found an interview with JLY with the American Theatre magazine called 20 Questions. It's from this past March. Here's one of the questions/responses. I thought it was funny/cute:
Do you recall when you first heard Frankie Valli's voice?
I remember seeing black-and-white footage in a TV commercial of this little guy singing "Sherry." The first reaction in my seven-year-old mind was, "That's stupid, he's singing like a girl!" Now I'm punished for it, eight shows a week.
If anyone hasn't read the article and wants to, send me a PM with your email addy. :)

John updated his blog this morning, writing about going to the Sondheim gala and meeting Kristin Chenoweth. He says she saw the show last night.
And about JLY and Sondheim, here's another tidbit from that 20 Questions interview.
What current music do you listen to?
I like Rufus Wainwright. His songs are lyrically and melodically rich,psychologically complex. I was very interested in Stephen Sondheim in college, and when I got to New York I realized Sondheim is the Tiffany of musical theatre, and most musical theatre is Zales. (Laughs.)
