A behind-the-scenes account by such a talented cast member. It’s hard to imagine that Dan won’t be back on a JB stage someday – his performance in Toronto – and as the lead in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – were both mesmerizing. Something you just don’t forget. A real stand-out talent and now ‘author,’ also!

Jersey Boys fans, almost by definition, love a good backstory. And a backstory ABOUT a backstory – well, it’s is like hitting the trifecta.

I not only witnessed Dan’s talent as Tommy DeVito in “Jersey Boys”, but have subsequently seen him knock it out of the park as McMurphy in “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” at the Ivoryton Theatre in Connecticut and in several productions at the Playwright’s Theatre in Madison, NJ. In speaking with him personally, in addition to his great talent, I’ve experienced his creativity and his wonderful sense of humor. He also realizes that work is only one part of life, and indeed cherishes his time with his lovely wife and two children.

I can’t wait to re-experience through “Places, Please!” the memoir destined to make us all believe– “small time professional actors”, creative team contributors, Blog writers, the original 4 Seasons, and thousands of fans– that on a Fall night in late 2005–miracles do indeed come true. Congratulations, Dan.
