I agree! The Jersey Boys souvenir program should have an insert with all three cast's (and upcoming cast's) biographies just like the one I purchased at the August Wilson. Only there should be three different versions with photos from the current permanent and touring casts.
It's just a great idea that Antonijan made, and feedback from the fans should make it to the publicists, because this will definitely generate revenue!
Also, the souvenir stands should also expand their sizes of t-shirts and sweatshirts to accommodate up to 3X.....
I've seen it due to the younger crowds at the Curran and their fads of wearing loose fit t-shirts for "fashion", and getting bummed out when their "size" is unavailable.....
They beat their current goal. And Jeremy has no chance of beating Larry at this point, unless he can pull off some kind of miracle before Sunday. Team Jersey Boys
As a Briton, I'm entitled to be unpatriotic and say I want American leads, not British ones! To get the show off the ground we need JLY and Christian Hoff. Seriously, they'll be crazy if they don't get those guys over to launch the show.
This isn't America,the Four Seasons aren't as well known as in the US, so they need the selling point of having the original Broadway Tony winners. Once the show has truly established itself, then we can use local talent.
Also it's going to be a challenge to fill the house. The Prince Edward has at least 200 more seats than the August Wilson. What we need is Tony-winning stars.
If there is enought buzz about the show in the UK then I think who they cast won't matter. I think when the tour started in the US there was talk about "would it be as good as Broadway cast" and both touring compaines have lived up to the expectations. Although I do see that having JLY and Hoff if possible wouldn't hurt. But if the reaction is anything like what the show has been getting in the US, it won't have trouble selling out the Prince Edward. I know the theaters where it's currently playing have more seats then the August Wilson. The Curran in SF has about 1600 seat and I think the Ahmanson has about 2000.
I think the London production will do fine with out JLY or Christian. So far the casting directors who have cast Jersey Boys state side have done a wonderful job. I dont see why the ones in the west end wont.

One of Doug's friends went on on the audtions for Vegas because I remember reading a comment he left on Doug's myspace talking about how the audition went. But this was about 2 months ago and who know if he got a callback.
I have the front cover of Doug's book done and the first two pages. If you want to see them send me a pm ( they are working now) I dont want to post pictures on here, just in case he reads the boards.

What ever happened to Erich? Did you guys scare him away? I think he stopped posting after someone developed some online stalker behavior. You folks know who I'm talking about.
But I'm sure he's busy, or just doesn't have anything to post. I clicked on the who's online button because I was going to send someone a PM a few weeks ago and I saw him on. Updated On: 7/13/07 at 08:42 PM
