Seems like they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of people that need a jukebox musical...I wouldn't say Dion DiMucci is a household name with enough recognition to carry a show.
As a huge fan of Doo Wop music, I am super excited to see this (just got my ticket for Papermill). Any word on casting for the Papermill run? Is Christy Altomare still attached?
If I recall, this one has been in the can since the premiere of Jersey Boys, when Dion realized that his brushes with the criminal underworld were more exciting and dangerous than Valli’s, despite being a much less renowned star.
