I was part of the Weathervane Theatre experience that Sebastian talks abut. In fact I played his Dad in Floyd Collins and still today think it is the best Weathervane production in the 16 years I have been there. We also were part of the Music Man Quartet that year. We were all thrilled when he got “Rent”. Then began following this young man’s career which, in my mind, is zooming fast and furious. Meeting him accidentally on the street one day after the Weathervane and all his success, I found him to be that rare genuine sort of guy that you respect for his humility as well as his talents. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Sebastian Arcelus perform the Bob Gaudio role in “Jersey Boys” just a couple of weeks ago, and he was absolutely wonderful in the show. His acting was phenomenal and his singing sublime! As I told him by the stage door immediately following the show, “he did Daniel (Reichard) proud in taking over the role.”

I eagerly await Part 2 of this interview and the chance to share Sebastian’s perforance (as well as Michael Longoria’s performance as Frankie Valli) with my wife, who saw the original Broadway leads on three occasions with me. I happened to be in the city on business that day and stuck around to purchase a lone ticket and see the show with the new members of the cast that evening. It was fabulous and just as amazing as the first time I had seen it!! The show remains a must-see with the additions of Sebastian and Michael in their respective parts.

I really enjoyed this interview with Sebastian Arcelus! Got a chance to see his performance in “Wicked” a while back and thought he was very good, but thought his performance as Bob Gaudio in “Jersey Boys” was fantastic!!

Great “handshake” story–reminds me a lot of the “Jersey handshake” scene. Thank you.

Great interview, Susie. Interesting that he did a handshake deal also that led him to the Bob Gaudio role. The stars were definitely in alignment.
