I must say, my favorite part may just be the random time-stepping in J. Robert Spencer's dressing room. Or should I say MISTER J. Robert Spencer's dressing room?

Christian is such a natural at this! I love that he introduces every person he encounters in the theatre.

When he made the comment about where else he could possibly be able to sing, act, AND play his own instruments except in Jersey Boys, I wanted him to add, "Oh, and Sweeney Todd." I hadn't realized they were playing their own instruments, though. That's fantastic.

I was thinking that too, but then I realized that he also mentioned dancing...which they don't do in Sweeney.

Why do they choose my single favorite actor from each show they feature to host the backstage bit? Sutton Foster, Manoel Felciano, Marissa (back when she was in Hairspray), and now Christian! Gotta love the Hoff man.

Daniel's sounding a tad flamboyant. J. Robert looks like he really does love collecting autographs. John wanted Christian out of there.

That was great. I liked it when Christian was shouting at the guy across the street from his dressing room.

The towel waving reminded me of a Per?nist rally. I kept chanting "Evita!" whenever they'd pan to the crowds. - SM2

"I hadn't realized they were playing their own instruments, though. That's fantastic."

I didn't realize it either until I read an interview with Daniel in which he talked about his audition for JB. If I recall correctly, he said that when he sang, he didn't get much reaction. But as he was leaving, he casually mentioned that he plays piano. And according to Daniel, that was it.

So evidently they WERE looking for actors who were also singer-musicians.

I can't get over the part where Daniel talks about his hair. I had no idea he was so funny!

Christian has always been my favorite of the JB's because of his performance on stage. What a great personality off stage as well...

Christian is trouble... but in a good way :) Daniel definitely answered the question about his sexuality to anyone who ever wondered though. Bobby is sooo cute! I think it is adorable he had Christian sign his Who's Tommy CD cover. And poor John looked like he was going to collapse... luckily he only had 3 more shows to do that week before he was on vacation.

"Daniel definitely answered the question about his sexuality to anyone who ever wondered though."

Well, Daniel wasdn't the only one who answered this. When Christian was going into Daniel's dressing room and referred to him as "Jersey Boys' own Liberace", that kinda made a statement, lol.

I loved the video!! but I am going to kill daniel, I think that was my letter to John that he read, I had sent a lot of stuff to all of the guys but I sent it all to daniel and he gave it to the other guys, so thats how he would have johns letter from me.

That video is absolutely adorable, and completely cemented my excitement for finally getting to see this show for the first time next weekend.
