Jersey Boys touring cast query

Hi guys, does anyone know the casts for the San Fran and LA productions of Jersey Boys? The websites only say one cast list for SF and so I can't tell if they are moving on to LA production or staying on in San Fran. I can't decide which production to see! Thanks so much.

The SF cast -- 1st national tour (Jones/Bergen/May/Ingersoll) -- is moving on to Los Angeles. Their last performance at the Curran in SF is May 3rd. They open in LA a couple weeks later.

The 2nd national tour (Spector/Kushnier/Gehling/Gouveia) takes over at the Curran on May 4th, and after Sept. 30th, will go to Chicago.

Thanks so much for the reply. You guys sound like you know your stuff - any recommendations on which cast to see?

Well the 1st cast is fantastic but ask after 5/4 that's when the 2nd cast has their first performance. But I'm sure no matter what cast you end up seeing you won't be dissapointed.

I think the current SF cast is fantastic. I also managed to catch Jarrod Spector in the role of Frankie and he was incredible. If the rest of the 2nd tour cast works as hard as Jarrod does, it is in very good hands.

From what I have heard and seen of the 2nd cast they are just as great as the broadway and the 1st cast. All of them are amazing.

Hm? So...Ingersoll is still going to play Massi in LA for the summer? When does Gouveia play Massi in LA? I'm confused...

No one has seen the 2nt outside the rehearsal hall yet, so no one can really tell you!

Steve and Michael are going to switch spots sometime in July. So Michael will be in LA for the fist half of the summer and Steve will be there for the later half.

"Steve and Michael are going to switch spots sometime in July. So Michael will be in LA for the fist half of the summer and Steve will be there for the later half."

...and Michael is going to Chicago to join the 2nd tour.

Has an official announcement been made or article I've missed?

Regarding cast changes? Not yet. Just lots of detective work.

Erich Bergen's blog is a good source of info: https://erichbergen.wordpress.com/2007/04/08/oh-say-i-can-see/

I think tomorrow is the last day of collecting for BC/EFA, so they will no longer be doing the pictures on stage.

Thanks for posting that. That's one of my favorite Four Season's songs and the guys sound great doing it a cappella. If they sang all of "My Eyes Adore You" I hope someone recorded the whole song and posts it up.
