How lovely – something to look forward to in the cold winter months ahead! Get your scarf out John Lloyd because I know you’ll be spending a lot of time at that stage door you know so well.
Wishing Jarrod Spector all the best after such a successful run as Valli! Patrons of the show have been blessed with such talent. We’re extra lucky to have two weeks of veteran Dominic Scaglione AND John Michael Dias’s Broadway debut!!
