I don't think he has.

BTW, anyone know if the show is going to be canceled tonight? Just a thought...don't know who'd be in the mood for theatre in case they have to be evacuated. Stay safe, y'all!

Is Melissa Strom Back?

Posted: 10/22/07 at 7:08pm

Is she really? Because from what I heard, she wasn't going to be back in the cast until Seattle...but judging from what I read in the San Diego review Lizzie put up, I guess so. Guess it comes to show that you just never know...

But I'm so happy that she's back; it must mean that she's better =)

Answering my own question:

At this time, JERSEY BOYS performances will continue as originally scheduled. If you are not able to attend your performance of JERSEY BOYS due to the current San Diego County fire situation, please contact your point of purchase to exchange your tickets to another performance.

Is Melissa Strom Back?

Ohh right. Thanks for clarifying that =)

I was also wondering about that whole situation too.

Melissa's not back in the show yet -

Is Melissa Strom Back?

Posted: 10/22/07 at 10:07pm

That's what I figured, because I heard that she was coming back in Seattle. It was confusing, since her name was in the little thingie from the San Diego review.

And anyways, I heard the deal with her anyways. =) Thanks!

Vegas Frankie

Posted: 10/22/07 at 10:14pm

Even though it's obvious by the Sherry cast getting a new alternate Frankie, Rick is Frankie for Vegas.

My bad. Melissa is not back, but boy the replacement sure looked like her from where I was sitting!! I think she was Lauren Tartaglia.

Hey, I just noticed the link to the Jersey Boys review I wrote up there, and wanted to thank the person who posted it. I hope you felt that I did justice to the show. For anyone who would like to view it, feel free. http://www.azteenmagazine.com/stage-theatre.php?article=241

What are the names of the two tours?

The Sherry tour is the one going everywhere but Chicago and Vegas.

Chicago and Vegas are just Chicago and Vegas.

I think the Chicago cast is also called the Zephyr cast. According to Eric's blog at least.

Why can't they just call it the Frankie, Nick, Bob, and Tommy tour?

Probably because we'll end up with more than four tours. Maybe then they can call it the "Barry Belson" tour or the "Mika" tour.

And probably every new tour will start off in SF since it seems the city has become the litmus test for every new company of Jersey Boys. There will probably alway be a tab under the cast list on the official tour site that reads "SF/(insert next city here)"

It looks like they're following the example set by the Broadway cast recently! Awesome - just curious, would these proceeds count towards the Easter Bonnet competition, or is it too early for that?

The fall version of Easter Bonnet is the Gypsy of the Year competition.

BC/EFA NYC event

Posted: 10/23/07 at 6:30pm

I'd say that the funds raised at the BC/EFA event featuring both the Original Four Seasons and OBC Jersey Boys would just go into their general fund.

Watching the live and silent auctions was a thrill because so much was bid on all the cool "One of a Kind" collectibles signed by the Jersey Boys! One item was actually made into "two" because it was heavily bid by two groups ending in a top bid of $4,500. The BC/EFA mentioned that the specific photo would be taken once more to break the tie and provide both groups with the item. It was a signed picture of the "Boys" wearing their "wife beaters" backstage from December, 1963. That item earned the benefit 9 "large"!!!!!

Big money was made for AIDS research that evening, and the fans left as winners in NY!

I was curious about that, too. Jeremy was contracted til May I thought, I wonder if he's moving to another company or what's going on...
