  2. You have made my day! Your performance makes this show come alive! I have been to this show four (three times with my husband and friends, once with my daughter), and so far have only seen you in the lead role. I have wanted to go again (this time with one of my sons) but will not spend the money if you are not the lead. I will not hesitate now. Providing I can prove to my husband I am not totally disturbed I WILL be going a few more times in the next six months. This show is as addicting as people say. Actually, I must add, the whole orginal cast playing the Four Seasons are so great together and have an incredible chemistry.

  3. We’re all thrilled, John, and all looking forward to a lot more million megawatt smiles of recognition from the stage during “Dec., ’63″.

    And like Lori, I am taking 2 friends celebrating milestone birthdays on Sept. 15 evening, and they’ll be overjoyed. Great news; congratulations, JLY.

  4. THAT IS TERRIFIC!! I want to see Jersey Boys again & to know that JLY will be around for at least another 6 months. Thanks John.

  5. That is good news. I’m sure there were lots of options you turned down to stay at JB on Broadway… their loss, our gain. Dare we hope there are numerous extensions in your future? There are so many people yet to get tickets and so many of us anxious to come back again and again and… again!

  6. I will definitely be there for student rush or standing room tickets throughout these 6 months. I am so happy John extending…he is a great performer with lots of heart to offer. :) Congrats John, and enjoy your vacation!

  7. Ditto to all the comments! I better get to the box office fast. I only have tickets for one more performance – my fifteenth. I can double that amount in the next six months, now that I have retired! Irene

  8. It is really great news. Just remember when making your rservations that John does not do the afternoon matinees on Wednesday or Saturday …

  9. I was thrilled to read about John’s extended run in Jersey Boys. He is the heart and soul of this show, and such a fabulous talent. More importantly, he is a gracious and giving person, who has treated Jersey Boys fans like an extended family. I look forward to seeing the show again for my sixth time!

  11. What TERRIFIC news.
    I have seen Jersey Boys four times so far and have been very fortunate to see John Lloyd Young and the original cast every time.To me, John is the Star of the show and he gives a wonderful performance with his great voice and acting. I am so excited to hear he has extended his contract. . What a great show. Thanks John!!! I’ll be seeing Jersey Boys again very soon.

  12. I have been waiting patiently to see what decision JLY would make regarding his contract. I too, like everyone else, am delighted that he will be continuing his role in Jersey Boys! He is why I keep returning to see the show time after time.

  13. Yay! What more it there to say.

  14. John is a vital part of the WHOLE Jersey Boys’ team which makes this show so memorable. But, if we were to lose ANY ONE of the men or women, the loss would be painfully noticeable. I look forward to the next six months of a stage FULL of unequaled talent. Thanks to all the actors and actresses who choose to stay with this show and keep the chemistry sizzling.

  16. Great news about JLY’s extension. My wife and I are looking forward to seeing him, Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard, and J. Robert Spencer (and the rest of this incredible cast) when we head back to see Jersey Boys for our second time this summer.

  17. Hooray! I am thrilled that JLY has extended his contract another six months. The show would not be the same without the four original cast members of John LLoyd, Christian, Daniel, and J. Robert. They are awesome!

    Hopefully, I’ll be able to see the show for a 3rd time with all of them!
