John Lloyd Young has worked harder then any other performer this year, I’m glad he uses his option to take days off. He seemed he was everywhere before the Tony Awards.He has to rest that great voice once in awhile.
I’d like to say that I saw Jersey Boys twice and although I loved John Lloyd Young and think he is an amazing performer. I always thought he was too “pretty” to be Frankie. I grew up in Stephen Crane Village and knew Frankie. Then the second time I saw the show, Michael Longoria played Frankie and it brought tears to my eyes. He was also a fabulous performer, but it was a much better show to me because he looks just like to the real Frankie. In all honesty Frankie didnt have that pretty boy look, so if I see it again I want to see Michael Longoria in the role!

Wanted to get out of the rain and was able to get a last minute matinee ticket to the coveted Jersey Boys. Micahel Longoria played the part of Frankie Valli and was outstanding, can’t imagine anyone could bring more to the role. The cast was fabulous!! Brought tears to my eyes! Thank you

I just saw Jersey Boys wih my family, and the announcement said that Michael Longoria would be playing the part of Frankie…in a word, unbelievable! This man can sing his butt off, and he and the rest of the cast were captivating. I hope to see this show again soon.

Saw Michael as Frankie in wednesday’s matinee; did a great job!
He told me he had done it about 25 times so far.
