Jarrod Spector Is Jersey Boys Broadway’s Next Frankie Valli!
September 16th, 2008
Philadelphia Inquirer Columnist Michael Klein reports on a big Broadway announcement today: Meadowbrook’s Jarrod Spector will be promoted to the Frankie Valli role in the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys at the August Wilson Theatre. He’ll debut Sept. 30.
Spector, 27, is a Germantown Academy grad who went on to Princeton – where he told Klein in a chat last year that he realized “a degree in economics wasn’t going to give me the things in life I wanted.”
Congratulations to Jarrod!
Congrats to a Philly/Jersey boy. See you in December.

Congratulations to Jarrod — I’ve seen him perform this role about 8-9 times in San Francisco and Chicago. He is fantastic! I’ll miss him the last few months in Chicago — but it may just get heading to Broadway.

How sad for Chicago! Jarrod really portrayed Frankie Valli to a tee (next to JLY). It’s a great loss for Chicago but a great asset for NYC. It will be hard to fill his shoes, but we wish him all the best – and maybe, just maybe we’ll see him back here in Chicago.
