I've seen JB 3 times---each with the OBC, but there was something about last night's performance----it was electric!
Maybe I was just so relieved to see this cast, after the anxiety of the contract extensions----but, whatever---they were all at peak performance and the audience loved it. The only different cast member was an u/s for Francine. My brother was up from Florida and was blown away---Oh, what a night. :)

Cool. I'm also coming from down south to see the show for the first time in 2 weeks. I'm very excited.

Hi justafan. Thanks for the review. I'm also glad to hear that your brother had a fantastic time. Did you stagedoor after the show as well?

John Lloyd Young is good, but Michael Longoria is THE Frankie Valli to see. Simply stunning in EVERY turn. Had there been a Tony contention between Michael and John (not possible, but a hypothetical), Michael would take it, hands down. No question.

I didn't stagedoor----I was really tempted--but decided not to.
Broadwayguy2---I can understand your opinion about Michael Longoria----he is amazing to watch onstage----whether he's Joey or some other character---he has such a presence!

Saw the show last Friday night for the ?th time, and John sounded better than he has in a long time, although still some roughness with the very high falsetto. I agree that Michael is fabulously talented and hope that he gets the opportunity to play the role full-time someday.
