Jersey Boys Tour Update

My friend has an audition for a 2nd tour.

...and a Vegas production is supposed to be coming up in the fall :P

Great news! It was just announced in the morning paper and I will be first in line for tickets! We are thrilled in Tampa!

Congrats to Eric Gutman on his debut as Tommy DeVito! :)

(Erik Bates also went on as Tommy for the first time -- that was Friday evening.)

I rushed that night and was lucky enough to catch his debut. He was fantastic as Tommy DeVito. He looked nervous at the beginning because I noticed his hands were shaking like crazy while he was doing the card trick with Frankie but he settled in quckly. I felt that he really made the role his own. He has great timing. With the audience that night, I think a few of the lines got bigger laughs then when Deven delivers them. He also has a great voice. When Erich Bergen mentioned that it was Eric's debut during their BC/EFA plea, the applause Eric got from the audience was well deserved. If you people are going to see the tour you won't be dissapointed if Eric happens to be playing Tommy that night. Although I hope Deven does get better from his sinus infection.

This was also the first performance I saw where they had to put the female swings in. I knew Sandra was out already but it ended up being that Jackie was sick that night (she now has a blog by the way http://jackieseiden.wordpress.com/). Heather Ferguson took Sandra's track and Jennifer Evans took Jackie's. Jennifer did a great job that night. I felt she was on par with Jackie's but I love Jackie's take on Mary Delgado. Heather was good to, as longs as she wasn't singing. When the girls were performing "My Boyfriend's Back" she stuck out like a sore thumb. It looked like she was just going through the motions with that whole number. She was the lead Angel and compared to Sandra, I could barely hear her. Which was sad because I was in the front row next to speakers.

The current touring cast will be doing meet and greets in the city on 4/21.
the details

There is! I wonder if it's the 2NT, which would be just strange.

It's not the 2nd tour. From what I've read in blogs, I think they aren't going to be in SF until the later half of the week of 4/23. They'll probably be in SF by 4/30 the latest.
