The entire cast of Jersey Boys has been a blessing to the people of Chicago. Not only did they put copious amounts of energy into each show, they also put an equal amount of time and energy into charity work, fund-raising, and creating special and unique moments for countless people. My best memory of the cast of Jersey Boys is when they invited me back stage about a week after my husband passed away and sang some beautiful songs for me, including a JB style rendition of Happy Birthday, (it was a day I had overlooked since it was 2 days after my world fell apart). The cast and the production will be missed by thousands of people…Thank you for the special magic you brought to our city and good luck to all of you.

The last show in Chicago was more than memorable – it was their best! They all outdid themselves. I cried before I got there, during and still tearful. Thank you guys for being so personable after the show and taking time with your many fans and relatives. Thank you Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman for putting together the “Best Musical Ever”. And thank you for your “closing act”. Come back soon!

Despite the strong emotions I felt earlier this afternoon at the final performance, I think it still has yet to hit me that this remarkable run is over. I had the pleasure of seeing the show here in Chicago 16 times, today included, and as everyone else has said, that’s still not enough! It would be so hard to pinpoint a specific moment that sticks out, but the feeling I got before, during, and after every performance was always the same. This show was where I went when maybe life wasn’t going all that great or I just needed a pick-me-up. Jersey Boys did that for me, time and time again. I could always rely on this show to raise my spirits so that’s where I would constantly go when I needed that. It has the incredible ability to make you feel good about yourself and life! A lot of that is attributed to the amazingly talented cast we were blessed to have. Thank you for the last two and a half years, and best of luck to everyone.

I saw this cast only once, in May ’09, on a trip to visit a friend who lives in Chicago. It is always a special treat to take people to see Jersey Boys for the first time and to watch their reactions and enthusiasm. The cast was fabulous and it was a great performance. The fans who have shared their memories here illustrate how much this show is universally loved and how hard it is to say goodbye to your favourite cast. I know I’ll feel as you do now when JB Toronto closes,(although I hope that won’t be for a long time). My thanks to the Chicago cast and crew for an amazing evening! Great futures for everyone, I’m sure.
