The irony would be if the producers of "Jersey Boys" having won only because the road producers wanted a show they could sell, instead betrayed the road and went straight to Vegas, like Avenue Q. I cannot think of a single show in the last ten years that would do so well in Vegas as Jersey Boys.
And even if it doesn't sell out, it should be interesting to see how the show does in the hinterlands. I can just imagine some of the comments about a show about fur guys from New Jersey in some of the red states. And then h=there's that fact that, without the amazing little man they have playing Frankie Vallie, the show would not be anywhere near as arresting as it is. Like Bob Martin in Drowsy, John Lloyd Young makes that show for me.
