JERSEY BOYS on Leno TONIGHT! — Page 4

shesamarshmallow, enjoy the show. Jarrod is fantastic and such a sweetheart. As JLY told me, he definitely has the "heart" of Frankie.

For anyone doubting the talent of the SF cast, SEE THE SHOW. I have my preferences for certain characters, but the show was still fantastic. I have tickets to LA for two nights.

No Way. I just rewatched the OBC's New Year's Performance. It was excellent. Sounded great, they looked great.

I completely disagree with what you just said. 100%.

That is insane.

I saw the show on Broadway and the SF show. SF show was just as good and I had an excellent center orchestra seat close to the stage. I loved both shows. I saw Jarrod at the Wed. matinee and he was fabulous. Reminded me a lot of JLY! A real cutie. It was nice to see the guys on The Tonight Show, but not representative of their excellent performance on stage.

Could it ever occur to you that not every cast of a show needs to have a carbon copy? This cast is by NO MEANS a replica of the Jersey Boys in New York and IT STILL WORKS. I can understand not liking things, look at all the people who can't get over Idina, even though she *isn't* the most spectacular Elphaba. PEOPLE JUST LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS BECAUSE OF EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS AND BEING FAMILIAR TO SOMETHING.

I could bash the New York cast and say they are horse **** compared to SF, but what do I know? I've never seen them live. I know what I've seen from clips, but it doesn't give me a right to say anything.

Things are different. Take that 'digitally mastered' Broadway Recording outta your ass and open your mind to something fresh and something new. If it wasn't doing so ****ing well, the directors could always pull it. I guess since the cast is so horrible, they should tell the crowds in SF to sit down when they give their standing ovations everynight.

My god.

The negativity oozing out of people's pores just because they are seeing something they aren't familiar with.

You are assuming it's just because people are not familiar with the SF cast, but you have to admit, people might just prefer the OBC and there is nothing wrong with that.

Is Devon wearing a wig or not???

no deven is not wearing a wig.

Deven's head, as I recall was shaved when he did BATBOY. He has that kind of crazy thick hair that could be mistaken for a wig because it is so dense, but it is no wig.

yikes! i finally got to watch the performance off my tivo... what the heck! the guys didnt sing "bad"... they have lovely voices and nice harmonies... but i was really surprised at ho wmuch they soound nothing like the four seasons.

when we saw JB last year i remember walking out of the theater in awe of how much JLY sounded like Franki. what great energy.

these tour members, while very talented... sound nothing at all like the 4 seasons.

of course let me cover my ass by saying... this is only based on that 1 performance so i am not making any assumptions.

just based on what i saw, they didnt sound like the original 4 seasons.

Jarett...were you selling altar boyz program at the orpheum...I thought I saw you today :P
