I just suggested that Tom Hanks and Daniel Reichard would be great movie “Bob Gaudio’s”, especially by the way they look and closely resemble the real Bob. My suggestions were based upon “looks” compared to the real Four Seasons and not a slight on any of the touring and OBC casts. I’m sure that some people have their favorites based on which casts they only watched.

We in the West Coast have watched the OBC during nationally televised “teasers” and awards shows and appreciate what the LaJolla/Virginia/August Wilson cast has done for Jersey Boys, but if JLY goes to London and Christian decides to star in “Pal Joey”, that does not guarantee all OBC cast members in the JB Movie…..

I think that if any of the touring or OBC cast members do get picked for the movie, it will not be difficult for them to get used to the big screen, because most of them have that experience in front of the camera anyways. I hope it will happen soon!

I would have to agree with all that say the orginal Broadway cast has to be in the movie. Who said Tom Hanks for Bob Gaudio? Maybe they meant Nick Massi?

It would be nice if the cast from the NYC show could be offered the movie roles first, then the West Coast cast offered second. Perhaps al the characters could all be filled by these actors and actresses ! That would be Wild !! What an advantage they would have over anyone else…I think. ! It would personalize the show and make it so very , very unique. I truly think that the Tony Award Winners should have the Honor ! I would love to see it made into a movie. !! My mother is 84 and I would love her to see the show…and this would be the only way ! Great idea ! Besides….JLY would make a great Lead.
