I SAW PAL JOEY LAST SUNDAY. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I THINK CHRISTIAN HOFF IS THE MOST TALENTED ACTORS OUT THERE. I CALL HIM MR. BROADWAY. SAW HIM IN JERSEY BOYS THREE TIMES. MOST INCREDIBLE.
I HATE THAT PAL JOEY IS ONLY PLAYING FOR A SHORT TIME.
I WENT IN BY LIMO FROM CT LAST SUNDAY AFTER BEING IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN THE EARLY MORNING……WOULD NOT MISS THE SHOW.
BRING ON MORE CHRISTIAN HOFF.

WILL PLAN TO SEE PAL JOEY AGAIN AND WHATEVER ELSE CHRISTIAN STARS IN.

HE’S THE BEST

Congratulations, Christian on your starring role in Pal Joey!!

We saw you for the first time as Tommy this very afternoon, September 6th and WOW!!!! Let’s just say you left an indelible impression!!!!!!! I can’t imagine anyone else in the role and we’re so thrilled and grateful that we got to experience your AMAZING performance before you left the show!!

Best of luck and all good wishes to you in what I know will be an awesome career!! We’ll be following closely and will definitely be in NYC to see Pal Joey!!!

I have enjoyed your Tony-Award winning performance as Tommy DeVito, in Jersey Boys, on five occasions. And from the first time I saw the show, back on December 3, 2005, until my most recent visit, just last month, you seem to have incorporated slight variations on some of your gestures and intonations, while adding some nuances that have kept your performances so fresh and vital over these past two and a half years. My wife has been asking me to take her again to see the show (she accompanied me the first two times), and I will be sure to arrange that prior to your leaving the cast.

It has been the great pleasure of JB’s audiences to have you in the original cast for all this time and I, for one, am sorry to see you depart. But, I also realized that this day was inevitable, and I am truly happy to hear you will be moving on to such a wonderful property such as Pal Joey.

You have been so gracious at the stage door and I look forward to catching you there one last time at the August Wilson Theatre. My wife and I will also look forward to seeing you at Studio 54. Congratulations and best of luck, you certainly deserve it!!!

Not sure if I’m more excited about seeing you star in a new role, which admittedly is great news; or sad that your incomparable portrayal of the often complex and always colorful, Tommy DeVito will wrap up at the end of September. Of course I will be there on the 28th to study, one more time, those trademark facial expressions that magically reach out and touch all of us in the audience.

I wish you the very best on this new, creative stage. As one of my very favorite actors says- See you at the theater…Christian!

Jersey Boys will not be the same without you. You are THE Tommy Devito. But more than Tommy you are the most perfect person in the whole world to play Pal Joey. That role is made for you and we all know what a stand up job you will do. I miss seeing you and wish you all the success you deserve. Much love
