I hope this is going to end up on the GILG website because "CBS Sunday Morning" airs at 6am in San Francisco. I'm going to try and watch it but that is just way to early for me.

It was a good piece but I wish they would've done more with the cast but I can understand why they didn't.

personally, i enjoyed the focus more on the "real" members of the four seasons rather than the Broadway cast. There have been many stories on the cast, and this was an interesting look at the popularity of Jersey Boys in the 60's and now on Broadway

IT WAS A NICE PIECE, THO I THOUGHT JLY LOOKED A BIT THIN.

That was a great piece. I liked how some attention was put on to the actual Four Seasons and it wasn't a complete focus on the cast. But I think it would have been interesting if they interviewed Tommy DeVito for the story too.

I also like how they included short clips from the LaJolla run. Updated On: 4/1/07 at 10:41 AM

I think that was the first time I had ever seen the La Jolla Frankie. I like his voice.

That was the first time I saw clips from the La Jolla run and I was impressed by the voice of the person playing Frankie too. Even though it was a short clip, what I heard sounding fantastic.

Does anyone know what time the segment ended up airing? I taped from 9-10:30 and it was after that. Luckily it ended up online.

It ended a little after 10...I think it started at 9:45ish..I was half-asleep so I could be way off

I thought it was a great piece and it showed a mix of clips from the La Jolla and Broadway shows. I especially like the fact that some of the clips they showed, you don't usually see with Jersey Boys like alot more of the straight acting scenes and not the musical numbers.

There is a video on Google that's an old interview with Bobby and Daniel in regards to the La Jolla run and it has clips of the original Frankie, David Norona, singing Big Girls Don't Cry and Sherry. After watching that and today's segment, I still prefer JLY.

They should've interviewed the boys more.

Interesting interview with Bob Gaudio. I'm curious as to what he alluded to that they left out of the production as far as their life stories. I thought they revealed a lot of unsavory bits so it kind of makes you wonder....

I think they should've added in a bit about the touring cast(s) as well, with them talking about it being such a big hit.

But it was a good way to start the morning!
