From NWI.com’s OFFBEAT column: Actor and singer Nick Cosgrove, who spent the past two months in Chicago with the national Broadway tour of “Jersey Boys,” has eagerly awaited his chance to meet the “real” Frankie Valli ever since he first watched the musical at age 17, with his parents, when it had its premiere engagement in Chicago in 2007.
Nick, originally from Park Ridge, Ill., is one of the actors playing Valli for this first national tour, which just left Chicago Sunday and opens tomorrow in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Visit NWI.com for the full story and an additional photo of Frankie Valli with Nick Cosgrove and his parents.

PS: SAY HI TO YOUR MOM AND DAD AND RICK.
