My brothers & sisters saw JB in May ’10. My sister and I went back for a second time and were fortunate to meet all four ‘Jersey Boys’ at the stage door where they very graciously autographed our coffee table books and spent time chatting with us.
Being fans of the original Four Seasons, we returned for a third show with our children and had a fabulous time! We’re fortunate enough to see the last two shows on the 22nd and words cannot describe the feeling that was in that theatre! Such appreciation from the fans and such gratitude from the Cast. What a truly rewarding experience each show was. Thank you! Thank you! Hope you guys come to the Drayton or St Jacobs theatre sometime soon! You are all amazing. Thank you for a terrific summer! I can’t stop playing the CD! Any chance of the Toronto show making it to DVD????

It was such a wonderful, wonderful night. Right from the very beginning, seeing Dan Sullivan in a restaurant, and introducing myself, “Hi Dan. I’m Howard Tucker…” Dan with a big smile, “Yes, Howard. I know who you are.” I didn’t ask whether he reads the Blog or someone gave him an accurate description of me. Actually, all four “Boys” were at the Baton Rouge Restaurant and graciously acknowledged my wonderful Jersey Boys friends, co-Bloggers, and me.

The show was wonderful. All four performers were sensational, and really gave 100%. Sort of simliar to Christian Hoff, seeing the transition from the friendly, humble Dan Sullivan into the bossy, obnoxious Tommy DeVito was amazing.

I have been going to Broadway shows for nearly 50 years and attended many closing nites (OK, some didn’t know it at the time) and have never, ever seen an ovation like this. The “crowd went wild”…and I mean wild, until the Boys came out for a curtain call, in various stages of undress…(I’ll leave that to the imagination!)

All came to the stage door, and made it a magnificent evening that I was able to share with some wonderful old Jersey Boys friends and some great new ones. Special thanks goes to Frances Fong-Lee for making the arrangements and to Audrey Rockman for being my driver from New Jersey to Toronto. Finally, both times we crossed the border, the agents passed us through quickly as we started peppering them with questions about whether they’d seen the show. One seemed to say yes (just to move us along. I think), and the other waved us on, not wanting to start with Audrey and her probing interrogation!

This was the experience of a lifetime. Thanks to everyone!

Wow, how great was last night in Toronto?
Right from the opening number the crowd was saying “Thank You” to the unbelievably talented cast and crew.
All I can say is that I saw the show around 11 times in the past 2 years and I am going to miss having it in Toronto.
I am going to have to find a new therapist because mine just left town today.
Anytime I wanted to have a good time and forget about the stresses of our daily lives there was the Jersey Boys, now that’s gone too. Well all good things must end but I was hoping this one wouldn’t.
It has given my wife and I so my pleasure over the run that I just wanted to say Thanks to all and good luck in your future endeavours whatever they might be. You people are truly the BEST!!!!!!!!
