I actually followed this link, but don't get it. I take it that some JBoys are performing but where are the specifics? I'd appreciate it if someone could cut and paste the info for me.

Choosing players from the different casts is interesting. Some have worked together before, though: Michael was cast with Deven in the original touring company and then with Jarrod in Chicago. Did I miss anything?
I wonder how the selections were made. Oh, and who said anything about offstage?

Jarrod was the original alternate Frankie on the Sherry tour, so three out of four are original Sherry tour cast members. :)

Ah now I know why Josh Franklin told me in Atlanta he had a slight Detour while he would be in Raleigh. It does not matter what actors are chosen for these types of performances. There are no clunkers in the Jersey Boys casts anywhere.

Keen obs, Leanna. I knew I might have been missing something.
