Andrew totally deserves that.

Has anyone seen the new Toronto production? Curious how it went.

[LizzieCurry]

There are some posts over on the Toronto BWW board.

Quite funny. And I believe this is the first photo of Josh Franklin as Bob Gaudio.

How much do you get paid to promote jb?

:)

[LizzieCurry]

I'm still waiting for the first check. I wonder if I would make more for doing the PR work than the Skarls.

[JulieS812]

Yay for Andrew!

[sbflyfan]

Awwww I'm very sad Andrew left the tour one stop before Pittsburgh! I saw him in Cleveland back in July and he was the absolute best Bob Gaudio! I was hoping to see him again.

I'm happy he's in the Broadway company now, but very very sad at the same time. hehe

Here's the BWW article since no one posted a link in this thread yet:

Thanks for the link! Great article.

Between Cleveland and Pittsburgh there are so many shows I want to see this season, but I think I'm gonna have to catch Jersey Boys again. Wayyyy too good to pass up. :)

[LizzieCurry]

Yay!

Please write something here; no one else does anymore. :)

[BWNUT]

Something :) I hope the tour swing by CA for one show, at least. They're already in Denver anyway. Wishful thinking, I know, but a JB fan can wish. They went back to FLA., didn't they?

[antonijan]

What theather in CA can they go to?

[antonijan]

What theather in CA can they go to?

[BWNUT]

Anywhere is fine with me. Heck, I'd see them in a barn. :)

[antonijan]

Other possible venues:

Flint Center in Cupertino
Fresno Convention Center
Orpheum/Golden Gate in SF
Paramount in Oakland

Any other suggestions?

[LizzieCurry]

Paramount in Oakland

Yeah right. When's the last time a large-scale musical was performed there? Probably when my parents saw The Wiz before I was born.

[jarretSF]

Cats played the Paramount for 3 days last year with their non - eq tour with the inflatable set.

[LizzieCurry]

Oh, that's right. Ha.

Well, still, JB won't be there anytime soon anyway...

Back on topic (such as it is), would anyone care to churn the rumor mill regarding who the new Chicago Bob might be?

[antonijan]

I like churning.

[LizzieCurry]

I'm totally bent on reviving this thread!
