I think you should John about this thread too! It would be amazing to see Jersey Boys once, but to have seen it six, almost seven times!, has got to feel great. I'm so jealous of you, new_philosophy_girl!

"Yout guys are all making me really jealous, I wish I could so bad."
It's the same with me! But I'm waiting for the one day that I can find two tickets.
I also love your avatar, jerseyboyslove!

That would be a really cool layout! By the way, is MySpace working for anyone yet?

Sure, post them if you can! I'd love to see them.
And this isn't necessarily related to John, but I was downstairs getting dinner and the television was on. It was Entertainment Tonight. They were showing what kind of interviews they would have on this weekends episode and on of the interviews is going to Frankie Valli. They said did mention Jersey Boys. I just wanted to post it here in case anyone else plans on watching it.
I hope all of that made sense.

Aww I just saw this thread, thats sweet you guys are making this for him
SPREADING MY JLY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! I must see him again before he leaves Jersey Boys!!
This thread makes me all warm and tingly. So much love for Jersey Boys...
I'm taking my parents tonight as a 30th wedding anniversary gift. First time for them- fifth time for me. I've been sitting on these tickets since February and they have NO idea what I'm planning. Can't wait to see their faces when we pull up to the theater!

Hi All!
I am a complete Broadway World virgin...but found this as I was searching for some JLY fansites...and what can I say? I feel like I've come home!
I live in London and have only got to see the show the once (so far!) but once was enough to fall head over heels.
Great to read your stories and experiences - I especially love your personal pics - Meryl's look AMAZING!!!!

WOW!!! Thanks so much for such a gorgeous welcome!
In answer to your question Alejandra925 - I saw JB in May on my first trip to NY. Saw several other shows too - but nothing, NOTHING compared....I only wish I saw JB 5 times instead of seeing 4 other shows!! (scary huh?) Apart from the fact I totally fell for JLY (I get the suspicion I'm not alone with that?!!!) I could not pin point one aspect that made it stand out - it was the overall experience to be honest. The story, the set, the acting, the singing...the fact that is biographical.
Now all I do is play my soundtrack (I'm on my 3rd copy from Amazon!) and look forward to the day I can see it again...
I'm hoping that it will come to London in the next couple of years....keep hearing rumours. Anyone hear anything about that on here?
btw jerseyboyslover...I don't have myspce yet...but as soon as I do I'll let you know!x

Welcome JLY's Jersey Gal....I'm pretty new on here too!
It amazes me that JLY writes back to everyone...he must spend ALL his spare time (if he ever gets any) sending replies...Amazing, amazing guy.
I have written once and was so thrilled with my reply - but I have noticed some of you have written more than once...I'm dying to write again - but was thinking he'd get annoyed that I was being greedy!!! ADVICE PLEASE!!!!
btw - Daniels bare chest...DING DONG BAYBEE

You guys may know this already but just seen on the West End board that Cameron Macintosh is bringing JB to London at the Novello Theatre in April 2007........I almost fell off my chair.
Broadway Legend Joined: 12/31/69
well every British person I have spoken to who has seen JB appreciated it as much as I did...(granted, I can count them on two hands....!)
but at the end of the day it's an incredible story, with some amazing songs and a fantastic production....the fact that it has specific humour to New Jersey or New York as you say is irrelevant (in my opinion) the crowds over here will totally love it....who could not? I'm sure that goes for Australia and anywhere else it is looking to open in too.
In some ways it probably helps....part of the beauty of theatre is the ability to 'whisk' you away - so with that in mind even though we will be watching in sat in a playhouse in London...we will be transported to New Jersey with the story...if that makes any sense!!
Do you feel it will not be received too well over here then TennesseeTwang?

Hey all! I got back from my first day of school about an hour ago. It was okay bit I liked vacation better.
Glad to hear your first day was ok, Erin. :)
Elle, from the sounds of your post on the main board...John was back in last night?
Ooh, I hope so.

Just curious, but were shows like Movin' Out or Rent well received in London or elsewhere?
Movin out didnt last too long unfortunately - even though James Fox is pretty big over here (he was in a music talent show in the UK) - and apparantly RENT has bombed. I have been defending JB on the west end board as some people don't feel it will be a success and it will be swallowed up by the huge publicity of Dirty Dancing - but I still have faith. Hell, I'm gonna be there every night I possibly can anyway!! I know as soon as word travels it will be massive and a breath of fresh air.
Curious about something....am I the only sad person who checks the number counter on John's site to see how many visitors he gets???? Please someone else say yes!!!

I think audiences thought it was going to be more of a 'jukebox musical' (hate the phrase - but I think you know what I mean....)and then they turned up to see a 'rock ballet' as you aptly described it! Shame as James Fox is very pleasing to the eye (!) and I love Billy Joel.
JB has to be a success here. I've been telling the world and his dog about it.
Have you seriously not seen the counter on the bottom of the home page???!!! *BLUSHING*

Yay, I got back stuff from John today!
He sent me a signed headshot (as I requested) and a cool card with a sweet note inside. I'm very excited about this!
