If you caught what someone posted in the tour thread for a quick second before they changed it, you would have gotten a hint about who it's rumored to be.
It's still kind of weird to link to Eric Gutman's blog in a thread other than the tour thread.

I love what he says about The Little Mermaid...
I can't wait to see Sebastian with short hair!
and as always I love Eric's blog.
I <3 the Jersey Boys broadway cast. I've seen the show 2 times on broadway, it'll be 3 times in April and Im seeing the touring cast in June.
I think the broadway cast is are some of the most gracious actors in the biz. They sign EVERYONES playbills and take pics with EVERYONE who wants one, and they dont get an attitude or pull some diva act about the whole affair. They're really some of the most gracious actors out there. They seem so excited when someone tells them they had an awesome show (when you know they hear that ALL the time). Ok enough of me going on and on about them

I have not yet seen Jersey Boys on Broadway, but can't wait to. I plan on doing Standing Room Only sometime this month and was hoping to get some information. I know they sell the SRO tickets two hours before showtime, but should I arrive much earlier than that? Also, where do you stand during the show? Thanks so much for your help!

i would get there at least two hours before the standing room tickets go on sale. in december i did sro twice and both times got there by 10am and was good to go. it fills up quickly as soon as the box office opens though. and you stand in the back of the orchestra. there are two large windows, five people per window.

Has anyone seen Cory Grant as Frankie yet? Heading to NYC in February and can't decide if I want to see Longoria again or try out the newbie.
Also...anyone know of any February cast vacations...?
Sebastian's new hair looks great!! He was standing at the back of the theatre today and at first I did not recognize him at all. As Eric said in his blog he really does look 10 years younger.

^ I agree. Longoria is already losing his voice. I did standing room on December 27th (got there at 4:30 for the evening performance and was third in line), and the show was amazing. But Longoria was terrible. I want to see Cory do it, though I hear Travis is the one to see.

Yeah I'd LOVE to see Travis but I can't count on him being on.
Newbie it is!

i saw cary on for his first show as frankie. he was okay, but he definitely needs to work on his pitch and vocals. he has a nice presence though.
Cute!

yes i've seen travis as well. i prefer him over cory though michael is still my favorite frankie.
Cory is the only one I haven't seen. Hopefully I'll get to see him in March.
Does anyone know how long Sebastian is supposed to be there?

Well she's been with the show since the LaJolla days, it was bound to happen eventually.
I wonder what they're going to do to replace her.
She's the only one I've never seen an understudy for in all of my times seeing the show so it's going to be weird seeing someone else play the part.
I wish her the best of luck in whatever, (personally and professionally), she chooses to do next!
Michael Longoria sounds great and I think seems perfect for this role. I think this is an especially great show to see for out of towners because of the NY/Jersey flavor. If you go I wouldn't recommend front row seats because you'll be looking up their noses as they perform their biggest numbers. The CD is awesome - crisp and fresh.
