The Jersey Boys Tour Thread — Page 36

They didn't mention the backstage tours at every BC/EFA curtain speech because they only did it certain nights.

Also, there is no SRO at the Curran. I don't believe they've ever done that because the theatre is so small and it would probably be a fire hazard.

Thanks! Actually I meant probably the tours occurred when the Curran had a full house, not SRO, even though both sides of the last orchestra row could be used for SRO since portable chairs are used in those areas.

Extremely nice of Mike and Erich to organize the tours! My wife and son took the photos with the "Four Seasons" on a Wednesday matinee and I took advantage of the photo as well as the signed playbill and signed lobby card with my other son on a Saturday.

Also, I donated two times to John Lloyd Young via snailmail before the Easter Bonnet benefit and received a signed headshot, thank you letter from the chairman of BC/EFA, signed B'way cast playbill as well as two cool August Wilson JB postcards with a personalized note signed by John. I got the idea of donating to JLY from an e-mail reply received from him since I told him I actively assisted BC/EFA at the Curran.

It was great that the Jersey Boys play donated the most! Now, I truly hope that they hold another benefit because it all goes to a great cause!

I love Taylor.

And here's another LA review:

Thanks for the links Lizzie. I'm guessing the folks behind the show are going to wait to see how the show is going to do during it's latest extension to determing if the cast will do a stint in SF before Vegas or not.
Now, if Vegas does stop in SF, I wonder if it's going to be a seamless transiton like they did between the last and current cast. And of course they're going to have to build a new set for one of the productions, and do a tech run with it. Now it's just a question of if the SF/Chicago cast or the Vegas cast will get a brand new set.

John Michael Dias performs Sundays and Wednesday matinees. Jarrod does all the other shows.

Anyone else get this in their inbox? Made me a little sad.

I'm kind of not suprised that they're offering discounts now because weekly grosses, according to variety, have been floating around the half a million mark for the past few weeks and they used hit the million dollar mark early on in the run. Although I have a question that I wonder if anyone can answer that might explain the drop in sales grosses. Early in the run did they sell the premimun seats, you know the insanely expensive ones, for all dates because now they're only offerd for people buying tickets for a Saturday night performance.

Edit: Ok I take back my comment on the premimum seats, they're still offered for every performance later in the run. I just didn't see any for the month of June, except on Satruday evenings.

It's the same code, although I thought it had expired already. I don't remember!

From what I understand, the LA set is going to Vegas.
