Sneak Peek of New Frankie Valli in @JerseyBoysInfo Broadway @MarkBallas Interview in @NYCMonthly!
October 5th, 2016Mark Ballas is SO EXCITED to play the final Frankie Valli in JERSEY BOYS Broadway. Check out a preview of his fabulous interview in NYC Monthly!
Jersey Boys is now the 12th-longest running musical of all time on Broadway. With all of your entertainment background, professional dance talents and charisma, what do you hope your legacy will be during the final performances to make the crowd literally sing “Oh, What A Night” on their way out?
Mark Ballas: I think it’s just going to be my interpretation. The thing I love already from Jersey Boys is they don’t want you to recreate something that’s already been done by John Lloyd Young or Dominic Scaglione Jr., they want you to be your own version. I’m looking to find that youthfulness and that younger Frankie and then when he loses his daughter and then he runs into debt, seeing that dark shift pertaining to the character but also bringing the light to the show, the happiness. I will be bringing my own twist on the live performance, with a different kind of swag. Anyone who has followed me this long on the show knows I am theatrical, I go big, and I pay attention to every detail. I hope to bring the crowd to their feet every single night and I know I will give it 200%.
