The Jersey Boys Tour Thread — Page 76

Erich played a great Gaudio. I wonder what his next project is going to be and who is going to be replacing him on the tour. Guess it's time for the rumor mill to start up again.

Now this is just be thinking out a possible scenario. I think we've heard rumors of people switching cast after the SF/Vegas cast finishes their stint in the city and heads off to Vegas. Now with Erich announcing that he's leaving the tour, is he moving on to another project or moving to a different company. And if it's to a different company it's seem that the Vegas and Broadway are highly possible. He may have been tapped to replace Daniel Reichard who's scheduled to leave the first few day in January. Guess we'll all have to wait how this pans out.

Just in case people need proof, he announced it on his website.

Ooh, right. That totally slipped my mind.

Btw, those pictures are just hella cute. Thanks for the link Lizzie.

It's just Vegas.

And according to the playbill, Joseph Leo Bwarie does the same schedule Jarrod Spector did when he was an alternate -- Tuesday evenings and Wednesday matinees.

Speaking of alternates, looks like a certain someone was wrong about Sherry's alternate.

It's good news.

Someone was sooo wrong about what was going to happen to him on another board. Congrats to Zach.

I wonder who's going to be the new tour alternate. And I'm guessing he's going to be a swing because Cory Grant has been cast as the Frankie alternate for Broadway. Or maybe he'll cover Colin Donnell's track since his last show is 12/14 and Zach is supposed to start early December. Guess we'll have to wait for updates to see what's going to go down.

Damn, Chad Jones works fast! (And I agree with him on a lot of points.)

Just got home from the show myself...more to say later, but first:
* LOVE Kristofer McNeeley's "sensitive guy" Hank Majewski. He sounds hurt when he starts defending the nuances of his material, then like he's going to cry when he says, "Rob a bank!" I'd never thought of Hank being played that way, but it's a hysterical take. (I actually heard someone say, "Awww!")
* Jeff Leibow is probably the standout in this cast, at least for me. I really like his angry Nick and how he starts getting nearly as worked up during the "soap" monologue as he does in the sit-down.
* Enthusiastic audience tonight. At times too enthusiastic, since Rick had to restart two of his monologues. :)
* I'd never noticed all the rings on the pot dealer/promoter/what is he? guy in "Oh, What a Night" before. Damn! I think they're the same ones Gyp DeCarlo has, but still.

I guess Zachary Prince now starts on Broadway in January, not December: http://www.zacharyprince.com/news.html

It is just my luck that he's leaving two days before I go see the show. His Nick was great!

Someone on the Jersey Boys Board posted that he put out a myspace bulletin saying he's moving on to another project. This is the bulletin:

"'So now that Broadway is back on schedule again I'm actually leaving the Jersey Boys stage. My last show will be December 14th and will be going to the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ to be a part of the world premier of Edward Albee's new play "Me, Myself and I"'

Elphie, Colin's actually on vacation all next week. Then he's back for five days and he leaves us. I wanted Colin!Bob.
