Audrey, thanks for the informative article…makes me feel like I was there. . . actually it makes me wish I were there! Your report did bring back happy memories of my two visits to the show, and happy memories are important as you know. I, too am an alumnus of Virginia Tech and have spent the last two days with friends and family at candlelight vigils and praying for the community that VT is. Your remembrance of Virginia Tech shows that spirit of community. God bless.

I completely agree with you Irene. I have never seen such generous and loving people that still have the energy after doing 8 shows a week to please fans. It truly amazes me.

Susie,

You do an outstanding job with Jersey Boys Blog. Thank you for always being so on top of everything!

The Actors’ Fund Jersey Boys performance was exceptional. The performers were outstanding as always, brilliant throughout the show. What made this show so unique was there were so many Jersey Boys longtime fans in the audience and the synergy was evident. It felt like the audience and the performers worked in concert – a symbiotic relationship even more noticeable than at any of the other performances I have attended – fourteen in all with many to come.

JLY and the cast were amazing as they spoke about the Actors’ Fund
and their good work. As with BCEFA, the “Boys” talked from the heart.

I think what makes John Lloyd Young, Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard and J.Robert Spencer as well as the rest of the JB cast so special beyond their incredible talent are their genuine caring for and accessibility to the fans. This is rare, in my view, in the entertainment business. Regardless of the huge success of the show, the cast is so well grounded in reality and always so demonstrably appreciative to the fans. I know we all wish each and every cast member continued success in all their future endeavors. I can’t think of people more deserving of success than they are!
