The Jersey Boys Tour Thread — Page 39

I'm with you on the "chopped liver" vibe. Sure, this cast is going to make a splash in Chicago, but they still have a lot of time left here.

As for the Pride schedule, if they're a surprise, they're a tight one:

Spelling Bee had a terrible turnout the day of the parade last year (I went to Bee that day), so I wonder if they were just nervous. I think both the Giants and As were playing at home, too.

Good to hear grosses are going up!

Here's the newer picture mll85 mentioned earlier. (I forgot to scan it when I was at work...yay PhotoBooth? )

It's gonna be a Big Surprise if they actually have a float on the parade!

I was there, too. I got a Color Purple fan!

Took a lot of self-control not to ask them, "So, who's to blame for the crappy Jersey Boys PR these days?"

Ha, and I wanted to ask if I could have the big poster =D
I got one of those fans, too. I was gonna ask if they had an of the mini JB posters, but I figured I can get one (and signed) if I go to Macy's.
There was another booth, but I'm not sure what it was, I only saw a poster for Kiki & Herb(?)

mll- The SHN booth was right in front of Wells Fargo.

Thanks Grumpita. Now I won't have to search around for the booth, I'll probably head to the booth before I go to the movies. Going to see Showbusiness tomorrow with a friend at Opera Plaza Cinema

Lizzie,
I know it was announced that Judy Kaye is playing Mrs. Lovett and David Hess is playing Sweeney Todd. I don't know if they announced the rest of the cast yet.

Edit:

hahahahaha I didn't see that comment. You must have posted it while I was typing my earlier post. I wish you would have asked it so you could tell us their reaction.

Thanks for posting that Lizzie. Well I guess that explains why there was no show today. But hey, good way of promoting the show. Was the cast hanging around civic center afterwards?

Oh I saw the thread. Well KRON is showing the parade again right now, maybe they'll show them in this broadcast.

I saw the Sherry cast at the Ahmanson theater a few days ago! It was great seeing this cast again, and the energy was great. I also got to take a friend who's never seen the touring cast before, so it was great watching her experience it. It's so odd how really different lines get laughs in the LA audience, compared to the SF audience (like in LA, everyone laughs after Norm Waxman says, "I'll be honest with you Gyp, we like their songs".)

i got a picture of the casting board in the lobby because I recognized some new names. I think they are working behind the scenes though, b/c the program lists the same actors as in SF. oh and I took another picture of a sign that I never saw in SF. (Makes you wonder, what kind of herbs are in those cigarettes? :)

how funny - i've seen the authentic jersey language sign before at the curran and at the ahmanson. at the stage door on broadway, some kids were there with their parents and bobby spencer told them, "You blocked your ears during the bad words, right?"

i guess it's not as bad as kids going to see avenue q because they think it's a children's puppet show.

i thought that the "authentic jersey dialogue" sign was inside the lobby somewhere, not outside by the box office, but i could be wrong. it didn't seem as visible to me as the strobe light sign.
