They've gotten rid of all the broadway ones. Now there are only photos of the 2 companies, and there are new ones, post Nick switch.
JB tour

Funny seeing the Curran Lobby Cards with just the Jersey Boys logo and no production photos on them this past Sunday evening..... The lobby looked much better with the production photo lobby cards..... Today, I'm attending the evening show, and am wondering if they posted up new ones. It will be nice seeing Michael back on the Curran stage with Jarrod!

Hello new desktop background!

Humm, I'm free so I'll be stopping by and maybe catch the matinee that day too. But it's good they're having them do things.

or is it another reason for him to bail out of his current company (ala Crawford) in time for the Vegas or London company formation?

Who will replace him as Waxman? Hickman and West probably.

I don't think there is a listed cover for Norm Waxman in the Playbill.

I didn't think so, but I don't have a playbill on me.

Crewe and Gyp are technically featured ensemble, right?

It has been said that Andrew Rannells may be playing Bob Gaudio in the Vegas Jersey Boys.

By insane coincidence, I'm seeing him in Thoroughly Modern Millie next week!

On Broadway the actor's in those tracks do much more ensemble work (Crewe is the waiter in the opening scene, Gyp is the drunk in the opening scene, etc). It was the way the tracks were created in LaJolla so they transferred to Broadway with the tracks intact.

I think they've alterd the tracks since, or they've changed the tracks for the tour, because that's not what I've seen in both touring companies. The actor in the Bob Crewe track plays only Crewe and Donnie. The actor in the Gyp track plays Gyp, the bowling alley owner, judge, the record exec, and the priest. In the first club scene (which I think is the scene you're refering to as the opening scene) the waiter is done by the actor in the Pesci track and the drunk who says "What's he got that I ain't?" is played the the actor that does Billy Dixon during the backup secessions.

Haha, apparently the sound went like... off about a minute into "Ces Soirées-La". And Drew had major lipstickage after "Oh, What A Night" and didn't know why the audience was laughing. I can't wait to hear about the rest of the show.

Oh, and in case no one else got the memo, as per Lauren, Kara is going on for Lyndsey tonight and tomorrow, and for Lauren on Saturday and Sunday.

Would y'all like a track-by-track breakdown of who is what in every scene?

Also, my $0.02 on the Waxman thing. Good luck to Wade on his show, even if he's only gone temporarily. I thought Hickman was absolutely great when I saw his second and third performances in that track (the Sunday RQW was in for Gaudio.) You could tell he was still getting used to things (like the blood packet), but since they were his first few performances, and they were last-minute after Wade got injured, I think he'd do just fine on a permanent basis. I particularly liked the air he caught while jumping in "Working My Way".
