Wow! I LOVED reading these interviews with JLY! Thank you so much!

I agree with the other posts–he is so insightful, intelligent, and articulate. He’s a really deep thinker and is such a great example to others on being not only a talented actor, but an outstanding person.

I love the fact that he is so down-to-earth and nice to his fans, giving us his precious time at the stage door for autographs and photos as well as answering our written letters to him. I am constantly blown away every time he responds back to me…writing letters is a dying art so I think that’s an extra special gift that JLY has.

I wish him the best in his career and know that he will succeed because he possesses great integrity and has a good head on his shoulders. For someone who was never mentored, he has done an excellent job of guiding his career to where it is today. His hard work and perserverance have paid off.

I will always be behind him in whatever he does and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to meet him and get to know him through his letters.

It has been such a privilege to see JB in NYC twice and I’ll be seeing the SF show next month!

I have never seen the show and am traveling to NYC to see it at the end of June. I am really hoping that John Lloyd Young will be performing because I hear he is excellent. I’ll be so dissapointed if he’s not there. Anyway, the interview was great and can’t wait to see the show!

I remember the first time I saw Jersey Boys in NYC, and I thought it wuold be enjoyable. What I didn’t expect was to be totally transfixed by the performance and the actors. I got to meet all the cast members at the stage door, and they were so friendly and kind to everyone. I even walk to the subway with JLY!

I went back for the Actor’s Equity Fund performance, and again, spoke to John Lloyd Young, and Christian Hoff. What an experience. I hope they know how much their performances mean to me and many others. I am such a huge fan of theirs, and love to listen to the cast album on my Ipod. My only wish is to go back and see them perform one more time. I am definitely hooked!

Thanks for such a great interview.

Thanks again Mike! I really appreciate the help. I feel sorta foolish not even bothering to look for a stage door in SF. lol.

I really love JLY’s comment on signing autographs. It makes him seem sincerely grateful for his fans. It’s really very sweet.

We spoke to Jarrod right after the 7:30 Mother’s Day performance at the Curran stage door. My son is the actor in the family, having done two plays in Jr. High and HS, so naturally his questions were basically asking advice from someone that’s been experienced in all forms of entertainment. He watched Jarrod during the 1st tour in April, but did not know that you could meet the cast at the stage door afterwards.

To tell you the truth, in terms of looks, Jarrod is probably closest to Frankie Valli. John Michael Dias, who is Jarrod’s alternate during matinees, is a close second, but all actors playing Frankie Valli do him justice in Jersey Boys. All talented and exceptional actors!

I’ll be sending you the address today. I heard from another correspondent here that Jarrod is very accommodating to all his fans!
