Eddie will not be joining the Vegas company as his leave from the show was 'not voluntary'.
WHAT??? What do you mean by "not voluntary" because now that you put it out there people are going to want to know. Did he get injured and had to leave, have prior comitments and didn't plan on staying with the show long, was he canned, or something else. If you don't want to post the reason that's fine but people are going to be wondering why, obviously I am.

And thanks for the rest of the info about when people are coming and going.

Be careful! I'm all for Bi-Costal not telling us if it means s/he can tell us other (less dramatic) stuff in the future.

Does it have anything to do with the quip in his bio thanking them for letting him out on parole to do this? Or something like that - it's been a while since I've seen a JB playbill.
Until tomorrow! Yay!

Double huh.

I enjoyed him in the show. I'm not even going to speculate outside of that.

I'm cool with whatever Bi-Costal decides to do. But if posting about the Eddie thing means that s/he can't give us other info in the future, then I'd rather s/he not post more about it.

Does it have anything to do with the quip in his bio thanking them for letting him out on parole to do this?
From the other stuff he says in his bio, I always thought he was joking about that.

I did too, but my friend insisted he wasn't. So who knows?

Rumor mongers! Give the guy his privacy. It is probably a difficult period in his life right now....being let go and all.

Gosh!

Wow.

Get a hobby or something.

Posted: 8/2/07 at 2:51pm

Are you speaking to me?

Because if so, do you really want to have this conversation?

[antonijan]

Posted: 8/2/07 at 2:56pm

No. I don't want to speak to you. I am much better than that....and I will distance myself from this right now.

and preserve my dignity.

When is the actual opening date for the Jersey boys Vegas?

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 8/3/07 at 10:53am

I'm pretty sure there isn't one yet.

[shesamarshmallow]

Posted: 8/3/07 at 10:56am

Nope, but I heard from Rannells (who, btw, was adorable in Millie and should be a great Gaudio) that they probably WILL be coming to SF in November, bizarrely enough.

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 8/3/07 at 10:57am

Crayyyy-zee. Can't wait to see how they market this one.

Interesting. I would have thought they would try to make it a continuous run if they were going to bring in the Vegas cast.

shesamarshmallow, did he by any chance mention if they were going to shorten the show or not? Updated On: 8/3/07 at 12:42 PM

Are you guys excited?

...that the New Palazzo Tower is taking shape and "almost" done!

and with it's completion would be the opening of the much anticipated Jersey Boys!!!

Casting for the Vegas Company is supposedly done already and a 3-month Pre-Vegas show in SF is supposed to be happening in mid- November just in time for the Grand Opening in the New Palazzo Tower in March!!!

6 Months to go!!!

Will Jake Speck play gyp? Or is it only Hickman and Ericson?

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 8/4/07 at 1:23pm

Gyp is actually not a role the swings cover, so the latter. (Bi-Costal has been very helpful. )

[mll85]

Posted: 8/4/07 at 1:24pm

Hickman and Ericson are listed in the Playbill as the Gyp covers. Bi-Costal posted when each of them will be playing Gyp until Jonathan Weir is brought in later this month a few post earlier.

Michael Ingersoll was out last night. Woe is me. Hickman was good though, and god I missed the boys. More than I thought I had. Jarrod's Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You was breathtaking.

Poor Michael!
