Bios on the Boys
June 11th, 2006Peter Filichia of the Star-Ledger notes that before Jersey Boys, now the hottest musical ticket on Broadway opened in November, only the most diehard musical theater aficionados could have identified Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer and John Lloyd Young. Now, thanks to their performances as Tommy DeVito, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Frankie Valli, thousands upon thousands know their names. What’s more, Young has been nominated for best musical actor and Hoff for best featured musical actor in the Tony Awards race. In Filichia’s piece, you’ll discover some interesting details about the Boys’ vitals (age, birthplace, etc.), their favorite Four Seasons song, what kind of research they did to play their characters, and lots more.
