Nick Jonas & Darren Criss

From Broadway.com: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying star and New Jersey native Nick Jonas recently told Broadway.com that he aspired to play fellow pop star Frankie Valli in Broadway’s Jersey Boys. Broadway.com caught up with Jersey Boys choreographer Sergio Trujillo to ask his opinion on Jonas stepping into the leading role of global monster hit:

I’d love to see Nick Jonas play Frankie Valli. I work very closely with the Frankies, [and] I welcome all those guys—Nick Jonas and Darren Criss. I think it’s a really wonderful role; it’s very layered and it’s a very challenging role physically, emotionally and, of course, vocally. I think it’d be wonderful for him.

What do you guys think of Jonas and/or Criss starring as “Frankie” in JERSEY BOYS on stage? What about either of these actors playing the pop icon in the movie adaptation?
