What a great interview, Howard. I always enjoy getting to know your “subjects”, and I can tell that they seem very at ease talking with you. That is such a gift!

Congratulations to Mike on his success after JB, and I will be keeping an eye out for him in the future.

Nice interview, Howard. Sometimes I categorize my life as “life before and after Jersey Boys” too…but my life after JB certainly hasn’t been as exciting or Broadway-bound as Mike’s. I like the fact that he highlighted that JB certainly wasn’t a star-driven vehicle, yet it certainly created a few stars over the years. I also like the name he gives Susie, “JB Blogmistress”…it seems to suit our Susie…all-knowing, all-powerful, with just enough sass and spark to keep us entertained and informed

Wow, there really is a life after JB. Mike’s been all over the map. Would love to have seen him in N2N. I’m sorry I never got to see him in JB. You’d think after all the times I’ve been to Vegas, I would have caught him in a show.

Who knew Des is a Giant’s fan!? I’m hoping that’s SF Giants and not NY Giants.

Thanks for a great interview.

Great interview! Howard, you are always so prepared. I used to think you just did your homework, but now that I know you…I have come to realize that all of this knowledge is already stored away in your brain. You must have created “Wikipedia”! You covered everything. Mike has quite a resume already and from the looks of it… a very bright future. Good Luck to you, Mike!
