Quick question- What is the order of bows for Jersey Boys? Does JLY bow last or do they all bow together?
Thanks

I saw the show a little over a month ago and I am drawing a blank. Correct me if I am wrong but they all bow together but JLY is center.

I think the four guys bow last, and they just one at a time down the line. I don't think JLY bows last.

The guys bow in order of their "season" and who tells the story. So it goes Christian (Tommy), Daniel (Bobby), J. Robert (Nick), and last JLY (Frankie).

So JLY is last but not really like oh he deserves the final bow. He just happens to tell the last part of the story.

Are you sure? I remember it as Christian, then John, then Daniel, then Bobby. I don't believe that they bow in order.

I've seen the show 8 times and I can't remember the bow order lol. Probably because I'm screaming at that point and can't concentrate. Don't ask me why JB has this affect on me because I simply don't know.

CPD--I love this show with all my heart but that was the damn funniest thing I've read in a long time!

Thanks for having a sense of Humor.
Now how is someone in the center of 4 guys?
John gets and deserves the last Bow.

Oh I wasnt saying that he *doesn't* deserve the last bow. I was saying that I don't think that's the intention there. It just works out that way.

I think JLY is excellent in the show and continue to be blown away by his acting (probably more so than his singing).

I was particularly in tune to bow order this weekend ebcause of this here thread... so I'll report my findings, though DDTruit is rather thorough and prolly covered it already:

They Stand in this order: DR, JLY, CH, JRS.
They BOW in this order: DR, CH, JRS, JLY.

and rightfully so. yay John. =)

Edit: So I cried at a completely different part this wweekend: During Massi's monologue about leaving the group - when he's talking abotu his kids - his own kids thoguht he was their uncle - uncle nick - JRS actually paused before he said "uncle nick" because he got choked up, you could tell it was affecting him... In 6 times seeing it, he's never done that, but i shed a tear or 2 over the whole thing. was so sweet. i love all of them. the whole cast. i just love them.

when I went on 4/26/06

It was:

standing in this order: CH,JLY,DR,JRS
bowing: JRS,DR,CH,JLY and then ALL together

I'm positive that's the order.

broadwaygirl51--I went last month and that's what I remember too. Standing left to right as you face the stage--DR, JLY, CH, JRS. Bowing: JRS, CH, DR, JLY, then all 4 together.

It's really hard to remember because there is SO MUCH EMOTION!!

But the BEST part of the curtain call is when the four boys exit the stage in a semi hug (like with their arms around each other). Maybe it was just for the show I saw -- but it made my day!!!!
