With John Michael Dias leaving the Tour, I was eager to see him again and maybe get to finally meet him. I had seen 4 Frankies, but John’s Frankie totally won my heart! So, for Christmas family and friends made it happen and I drove from Columbus, OH to Wash. DC. I caught the Dec. 21st matinee on a damp, rainy day. The audience included a group of wounded veterans and their families. John and the cast put on an exceptional show and later met with the veterans. I somehow was added to this wonderful group of people. I told John I loved his performances because he seems like someone who actually lived back then. His every move, expression are perfect rat pack, old school. He told me he watches a lot of old movies. (I think it’s great acting.) I knew I only had a few seconds with him, but he was attentive, patient, and handsome! He made each of us feel important-a perfect Christmas gift! Just wish I wasn’t having a bad hair day. :/

Just watched The Jersey Boys at Orpheum Theatre in Omaha and enjoyed it so much I had to spread the word.There are a few weeks left and I encourage everyone to go see it-brings bad some good memories and the singing is fantastic!

You are fantastic John, I went to a mattinee in Milwaukee on July 21st and I enjoyed the whole story in song. Your performance was so passionete; I saw
Frankie Valli last year at a the Milwaukee Italian festival and you played him perfectly (almost even better).I wish you much success and I am hoping to get to see more of you soon…Shirley

John, WOW. I saw Jersey Boys twice in a week. I loved it so much! I made sure you would be playing the part of Frankie before I bought tickets for the second time. You are fabulous. Thanks a million. Tanis

Awesome – I realized after the show that Mr Dias was performing in place of Bwarie. I couldnt imagine anyone better. We were thrilled with the show.
