Wow â€“ I am very jealous â€“ sounded awesome. What a great write-up â€“ I could feel the passion and the energy of that deaf dumb and blind kid who sure played a mean Pinball!

As a long time WHO fan, you brought back great memories with your write-up. Also a tear jerker when you described the reading of a note from Pete Townsend, who looks to be in great shape (in his 60s and cranking out the windmills and hits from decades ago!) when we saw the WHO a few months ago in Boston.

We look forward to seeing Jersey Boys with you in Boston this summer.

Love,
Brad (Pamâ€™s brother)

Pam, Thank you for putting into words the feelings I’ve been having since Monday night! It’s an experience I won’t soon forget. I’m listening to the original soundtrack right now and marveling at how, 15 years later, it’s almost identical to what we heard at the concert.

I admit that I wanted to see the show mainly to see Christian, since I wouldn’t be seeing him in Pal Joey. But the entire cast was phenonmenal. And I’m so glad my husband and I chose to “embrace abundance”! What an amazing experience!

It was great to meet so many of you before the show, and a great treat to meet Rick Elice – I’d heard from all of you what a wonderful man he is, and you were so right! And to top it all off, speaking with Christian afterwards made everything perfect. He looked great, sounded great, and even showed us he’s still got the moves!!! (His and Donnie’s one minute of dancing brought the house down, but did anyone else notice that the rest of the cast looked surprised?)

Another great time at the August Wilson!

Great write-up, Pam! Looks like you covered it all, from the Rick Elice to the sublime. Next best thing to being there.

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the rock’n'roll, but being an unsophisticated California native growing up three thousand miles from the Great White Way, I never saw the Broadway production of Tommy. But based on your write-up, I wish I could have seen it then – and now.

Golly, Pam. You’re a great writer. For everybody who wasn’t there, she nailed it. Also, from this humble scribe, I gotta tell you how great it was to see the JB fans turning out (again) for a charity night, even during these tough times. A dear friend of mine used to tell me that you can either live your life under the theory of scarcity or the theory of abundance. (I was embracing scarcity at the time). The JB Family teaches me over and over that she was right. Embracing abundance will always deliver more of what’s important… and what’s important last Monday was to see so many of you there (and for Christian to see so many of you there.) TOMMY rocked, but you guys ROCK! Here’s to a happy and healthy holiday and new year, with much love from the sublime (?!?!) Rick Elice (My mother’s gonna love that one…)

Outstanding review, Pam. It was a wonderful evening and I am so fortunate to have been sitting right next to you. As always, the pre-theatre Jersey Boys dinner gathering was marvelous.

Love, IE
