Video/Photo Flashback: Farewell & Best Wishes to Jeff Leibow (@jeffleibow)!
November 23rd, 2014
As we get ready to join fellow fans for Jeff Leibow’s final JERSEY BOYS Las Vegas performance tonight, we want to send Jeff a big shout-out for bringing Nick Massi to life on stage for the last seven years! From day one, my friend (to quote one of Nicky’s best lines), Jeff’s “Nick” was absolutely spectacular, first in the JB San Francisco holiday engagement, and of course, since the previews began in Vegas!
Thank you, Jeff–for always being so gracious, supportive, and generous with your time to JBB & all of the JERSEY BOYS fans!
We’ll miss you on stage in JB, but wish you all the best as you move on as director of the NF Foundation!

We will miss you so much Jeff! It was great watching you play Nicky Massi and doing a tremendous job. You are a true professional. Good luck and God bless you.

Jeff, I imagine you’re going through such an array of emotions as so many of your fans are. Now that your daughter is getting older, she’ll really appreciate having you home most evenings, I’m sure. Families admittedly pay a price when one has a calling to do live theater.
While surely exhilarating to perform in such an iconic show, we patrons know there’s still a price to pay. (I tried to teach my daughter through years of performances, whether high school or Broadway, you NEVER leave your seat till the lights come up because the people on stage are giving so much – transcending the mere value of a ticket.)
Thanks for the sacrifices you’ve made to bring Nick to life – right in front of our eyes – and thank you for deciding now to give your time & talent to the challenges of neurofibromatosis!
