Jersey Boys Stars Renew Contracts!
October 3rd, 2006Theatermania.com reports that Jersey Boys stars John Lloyd Young, Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard, and J. Robert Spencer have all renewed their contracts, which expired on October 1. No details are available on how long they will remain with the show, which tells the story of the chart-topping singing group The Four Seasons.
Young, whose performance as Frankie Valli won him the 2006 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical, is currently on a two-week vacation and will return to the production on October 16. Hoff won a Tony for his portrayal of Tommy DeVito. Reichard plays Bob Gaudio and Spencer plays Nick Massi, the two other members of the famed group.
I’m so glad all 4 stars of Jersey Boys renewed their contracts.The original cast is always the est. Thank You Jersey Boys!

I am thrilled…I’ve seen it twice…both with stand-ins…and while they were really good, I am so hoping to see the orginal cast…all at the same performance!

So glad, but I hope it is for more than “several months.” I saw it twice this summer and have tickets for the end of May! Please, Jersey Boys, stay until this summer!

Great news! I hope the extension carries into June so we can see them all two more times!

I’ve been DYING to hear if the Boys were leaving at the beginning of October, or not. And I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to hear that they are!! I’m seeing the show in December and I’m praying that they will still be there. For the past few months I’ve tried to forbid myself from listening to the CD because it made me so sad to think that I wasn’t ever going to see the guys again!
So glad to hear that they’re all staying!! I hope the show is going better than ever!
…Yeah, right. Like THAT actually worked!!
