Does anyone know the dates he is going to be performing? Tried calling the Box Office and looking online but I couldn't find specific dates listed anywhere. Want to get my mom tickets for her 60th birthday because she's a huge fan of his and also loves Jersey Boys, but want to make sure it's a show he will be performing in. Greatly appreciate any help as I'm new to NYC and the Broadway scene :)

I don't think he's said. Dominic Scaglione, the other Frankie, is leaving next month as well, so I assume they'll be going back to the 6-show Frankie/2-show Frankie format rather than the 4/4 they've been doing. 

 

You may want to keep an eye on Mauricio Perez's twitter account, assuming he's allowed to say anything himself:

DANCING WITH THE STARS' Mark Ballas will be the final actor to take on the iconic role of Frankie Valli and is set to make his Broadway debut in the show on Tuesday October 18; he will remain with the production until the end of its run: January 15, 2017. Mauricio Pérez will continue to play the role at certain performances during the week, while Dominic Scaglione Jr. is scheduled to appear as Frankie for the final time on Sunday October 16.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the thread about the final performance, but I do hope that Jersey Boys would follow Rent's footsteps and give us a DVD release, especially with the Las Vegas and the London productions also ending their runs soon. Like me there are lot of fans of this show that would love to own it.

I could definitely see that happening.  It's happening more and more.

"Mark Ballas begins performances as Frankie Valli on October 18, 2016. Beginning on this date, Mauricio Perez will play Frankie Valli at Wednesday evening and Saturday matinee performances."

Glad that's up there -- he mentioned it on his Instagram story, but unlike actual Instagram posts, you can't link to those and I wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly.

Thanks so much! I actually started following him on Instagram too, just so I could see if he said anything about it :)
