Is JB National Tour Coming to Tampa?
January 14th, 2007In addition to rumors about Jersey Boys national tour coming to Cincinnati, there’s also talk in Tampa!
John Fleming, the Times performing arts critic recently spoke with Judy Lisi, the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center president. Lisi noted that Broadway’s latest monster hit, Jersey Boys is waiting in the wings. She is negotiating with the show’s producers to bring its tour to Tampa for its only Florida engagement next season.
Last week, Lisi stated,
We’re still looking at how long it’s going to play here and the exact dates. They don’t want to make an official announcement until they determine that.
Lisi also noted,
The interesting thing is that men love Jersey Boys. Usually for Broadway, women are the ticket buyers. For this show, there are a lot of men who want to see it.
Wow,
First saw the show on Valentines Day. Only problem was we sat next to the “golden girls.” Went four night later and sat 10 rows back. This was one on the best Musicals I have ever seen.
