This is so well deserved. I saw Dom as Frankie years ago and was so impressed. I think his “Fallen Angel” was the best ever. I am so happy for him and also for Joseph Leo Bwarie.

I had always wanted to see Dominic as Frankie, and thought I’d be seeing him for the first time at the Wednesday or Saturday matinee on Broadway in May 2009. I had already bought my ticket and was sad to find out he was going to Chicago instead. I later found out the Chicago production was closing in Jan 2010, so I decided to visit Chicago for the first time, and by myself for my birthday in November 2009. Had the pleasure of seeing him as the “main” Frankie for three shows on my 3-day trip. He was nice to pose for two photos with me.

I was glad that he was back on Broadway as the two-show Frankie, and have gone to see him another 12 more times on Broadway. During those times, I’ve gotten to know him and he is such a sweetheart at stage door. I shall continue my tradition as seeing him as Frankie on my birthday, which I had since 2009, with the exception for 2012. Looking forward to seeing him again in November.

Congratulations, Dominic! Your hard work and patience has paid off! You deserve it! This is your time to SHINE! Sending all my love and best wishes!

I remember that last show in Chicago with Audrey. I’ve never been that cold in my life. But I warmed up quickly with an amazing show that I will never forget. And I was especially touched that you knew it was my birthday.

Congratulations Dom!!! I’m so happy for you and glad I got to see your last show as the “2 show Frankie” last Saturday.

Break a leg and look forward to seeing you again soon on Broadway.

When I learned the Chicago production was finally closing its ’6 month’ run after 2.5 years, I knew I had to be there. I drove out to one of those places you fly over on your way to LA to see Dominic’s final performance on 1/10/10. What a performance (and what an audience who had gotten to know Dominic and the rest of the cast). It felt subzero outside but still there were people outside overnight for SR tickets. I chatted it up after the show with his family, who many of us have enjoyed meeting.

With all the excitement of the final performance, cameras, Rick & Marshall speaking from stage – I can become a bit frozen. But Dominic was cool, calm and focused in all that activity and immediately greeted Linda with birthday wishes. He’s his own pr person, without even trying; it’s just who he is. I walked off – lingering till the end and darn if he didn’t make a point to come over & say ‘goodbye’ although we had already spoken.

Then a few months later I saw him doing the final performance of the evening for the NJ Hall of Fame Awards at NJ PAC, when Frankie was inducted. Dom is a home grown Jersey guy from Jersey Boys and was simply perfect for the occasion!(I seem to recall seeing backstage photos of him with Pesci and Nicholson, too!)

more memories … I remember him posing with Frankie, Bob, etc. at the Paley Center during the JB 5th anniversary weekend and once again he made a point to say hello at the fan gathering. I’ve even seen him at the Belmont Tavern enjoying time with castmates. Yep, lots of memories and more ahead! All the best Dominic!

Dom, you are going to knock them dead, just like you did in Chicago! All the best.
