Yesterday I saw JB and my sister and I got to go backstage and meet JLY before the show. Here's what happened. We're inside, I see one of the female cast members, Erica and then I turned to look at the stairs and there he was because his assistant knew like half of MY family and she called him to come down becuase he wanted to meet me! I was like "Hi John!!!!!" He said hi and I didn't even need to ask him for a hug! He just said Hi and just gave me and my sister one. So we talked and he gave me a backstage tour and I was mostly talking to him and I was right behind him. I told him that we listened to JB 6 times on our way up to NJ. He said "You and the rest of the world!" So we're on the stage and he took some pics with me and he had is arm wrapped around me and I did the same thing cause we were on the stairs that are on the stage and we had to get close for my pictures on my cell and camera and I told him that this was the best thing that had ever happened to me, he was vey pleased to hear that. So it's the end of the tour, he gives me another hug and he said that he'll watch out for me and he'll show it by gesturing towards me or waving. He did because during Dawn he had his hand out to me, and at the end of the show he poined at me. It was great, the whole cast was there! It was a fun show to watch. The crowd goes wild! Even I did! LOL. Also JLY is really sweet. I don't know about some of you but he really is. What a way to spend the New Year! Now I can tell this to my friends at school because they don't believe me when it comes to Broadway.
"Awww! Boo!"

LOVE IT! Oh, let's hope his ABC TV development contract doesn't go to his head.

Posted: 1/1/07 at 12:08pmI'm just happy that i saw it before 2007! My goal was to write to an actor that writes back and see a B'way show with the whole cast in it and meet the actor that I've been writing to. It happened. My mom and her friends were jealous of me because they had idols but never got to meet them. But my mom is so proud of me anyway!
"Awww! Boo!"

You are sooo lucky ! I wish I could be able to take a backstage tour of Jersy Boys as well. Did you meet any other guys on your backstage tour?
I love JLY...I saw JB on saturday but it was the matinee so he wasn't there, wish he would've been, but Michael was awesome and so friendly too. Really all of that cast is the best, they are never unfriendly or rude it seems. I met JLY once and i had the student rush seats back in November so he pointed me out at the end to...its just so nice of him to take the time to do that.
Come on babe we're gonna paint the town...and all that jazz...

Posted: 1/1/07 at 12:37pmNo I asked John and he said no. They were there when the show started. I was looking at the stage after the french version of December 63 I was like "It's Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" My eyes were watering! Same thing when I saw Bobby (he was looking at me a lot) and Daniel also when John entered I was like "Hey John!"
"Awww! Boo!"

Wow, that must have been so cool to have a backstage tour given by JLY. About him pointing at you and the cast looking at you and stuff, it's funny cause when I went in April, my sister went in wearing a Michigan University t-shirt, and right at the end of Walk Like A Man, Daniel was over where we were sitting and he pointed at my sister. We found out later when he came out at the stage door that he noticed her shirt. It was funny too cause when he pointed at her, it kinda looked like he was going to give my sister his jacket.
Just one little question, the thread reads Jersey Boys 12/31, I thought you went on 12/27 or did you go both days?

Posted: 1/1/07 at 6:29pmWe went both days. I remember a lot the second time. I remember nothing the first time.
