popular_elphie: YOU ARE THE GREATEST.

Sponsor me as I walk the Philadelphia AIDS Walk - Sunday, October 16, 2011. Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars , these programs are often under-funded. Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS. http://www.aidswalkphilly.org/users/index.php/profile/detail/186643

LOL I have....help. I've actually only seen it 3 times.

Here's Nick's:
Nick: "Even after I quit the group, it still had some kinda pull over me. Over the years, if Frankie was playing Atlantic City, or any place near Jersey, I'd hop in the car and check it out. He'd bring me up onstage, we'd do a song or two, and he always had the same question: "Why'd you do it Nicky? Why'd you walk away?" Let me clear that up - it wasn't the side deal, it wasn't the touring, it wasn't the bad food or rooming with Tommy - it just came outta my mouth. But once I said it, I knew it was what I wanted. I wanted to go home. It was what I needed - more than the booze, the girls, more than starting my own group! Alright, I'll be honest with you, it could've been an ego thing. Everybody wants to be up front. But if there's four guys, and you're Ringo? It's better I should spend some time with my kids."

Well I first heard about it on here! Everyone is always raving about it, so I figured it would be a good idea to see it!

I didn't read any reviews and I didn't pay any attention to any threads on here but NPG kept telling me how much she loved this show. Honestly, I thought she was a little nutty to fall for a jukebox musical. I wasn't dying to see it but I needed to cross shows off my list before the Tonys so I thought I'd get it out of the way and see it already.

I liked it but I wasn't crazy about it after I saw it the first time but then I went home and listened to the cd like 10x a day and fell in love with it. Then I was crazy when I went back a week later. I even cried when the exit speeches started and all through the curtain call. It was BAD!! I saw it for the first time on 2/11 and I've seen it almost every week since then LOL. Blame me on New Philosopgy Girl!!!

so I saw this show about a week and a half after it opened. I just happened to see the preview video here on bww and I thought it looked interesting so I picked up a student ticket after class. the rest is history, as it is now one of my favorite shows ever.

Popular Elfie - you missed one crutial line: (see ****) =)

JLY/FV: They ask you - what was the high point? The hall of fame, selling all those records, pulling Sherry out of a hat - it was all great. But four guys under a streetlamp, when it was all still ahead of us - the first time we made that sound, our sound -***WHEN EVERYTHING DROPPED AWAY AND ALL THERE WAS WAS THE MUSIC...**** that was the best. That's why I'm still out there singing. Like thAT bunny on TV with the battery - I just keep going and going and going. Chasing the music, trying to get home."

That's even on the CD, who needs a schmootlegg?

lol. I love you guys.

Does anybody happen to know the line...it's right before Fallen Angel, but after he gets the phone call. Something about how you try to protect your children? Thanks!

I got into the show by word of mouth. Telly Leung (he plays Boq in Wicked in Chicago) is a friend of mine, and he e-mailed me a while ago (I know the show was still in previews at the time) about his trip back to NYC and these two great shows he saw. Jersey Boys, and A Light in the Piazza. I checked them both out and loved them. But for some reason, I was checking the JB site everyday hoping they'd update. I listened to the short little clips over and over, I caught every tv appearance they did, got the cd the day it came out....I was obsessed.

Lol. I even talked my aunt into going to NYC as my graduation present JUST so I could see Jersey Boys finally. My one major thing was, I was terrified of getting an understudy. I wanted the original Broadway cast. I was pretty lucky with all three shows I saw. The only people who were out were all Swing members.

Ahh I feel so ashamed that I forgot that line! *hits self*

Quote after Frankie learns that Francine is dead:
"You pay your taxes. You put your trust in the system, you think your kids are safe. What're you supposed to do, put 'em on a leash? Chain 'em to the bed? They grow up, they grow out, and then some motherf*cker with a needle is waiting and it's over."
I think that's the end - his voice gets a lot lower towards it.

Anyways, the way I first got into Jersey Boys was buying the OBCR. At first, I actually hated it, but I listened more, and could never turn it off. I made a point not to listed to any...boots before I saw the show so that I wouldn't spoil the story. I made the site before I saw the show actually - I just had a feeling I'd love it. I didn't get rush March 3rd, but I was glad because Daniel was out, and I really wanted to see him. I got rush March 4th, and saw it March 5th, and March 6th as well. I love the show, and I LOVE the rush seats.

I think I'm going in the middle of this month, during Spring Break - I've got an internship interview, so maybe I'll be able to squeeze in seeing the show, too.

The only reason I went to see JB in the firs tplace was because my granmother wanted to. We were trying to pick a show to see new Year's Eve. I wanted to see Chicago, and she wanted to see Jersey Boys. She won, and I loved the show.

hmmm... how did i get into JB... I think I watched the video clip on here and got "Who Loves You" stuck in my head, asked for the cd for xmas, and yeah not gonna lie... i thought/still think, JLY is hot.

oh and P.S. my name is meg and i'll occasionally pop in to see what's up... classes are currently taking over my life. but I LOVE the quotes!

#121

Posted: 4/5/06 at 9:14pm

Haha I remember that one by heart :).

I forgot who says this, I think Frankie: "So, you like our new name?"
Bob: "Oh, I love it. So did Vivaldi."
Tommy: "Some guy stole our name? I'll go talk to him."
Bob: "That's okay, Tommy - he's already dead."

Broken Lizard,

Have you been to www.jerseyboysblog.com? That would be a great place to post your pictures from the visit. And, other fans post their photos too. Its very interactive and updated multiple times a day. =)

Here's a quote most people wouldn't care about:

"Bedtime!!!!" (Peter Gregus plays a guy hitting on Mary Delgado... and the bodyguard roughly escorts him away.)

Actually Jersey Girl, my photos are posted on jerseyboysblog.com and the guy who runs it is actually going to make an announcement about the book I want to do for the cast, so hopefully we can get more people to submit stuff.

And Popular Elphie, thanks for that quote after he finds out about his daughter. It just killed me.

I wish I lived anywhere near NYC. I'd kill to see the show again. Guess I'll just have to wait till next year and hope the tour comes to chicago.
