I actually just rewatched the 25th Anniversary concert of Les Miserables last night and kept cringing at Jonas' performance. I have to assume her did audition for this.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Hahaha. Yeah, he was so laughable in that concert. When you have no autotune and you suck.... Don't be in a musical. Good thing this is a movie and his voice will be recorded in a studio and fixed for this movie that nobody asked for!

A great Gavroche does not necessarily a great Marius make, but maybe Jersey Boys is more in his wheelhouse. I've seen some, uh, iffy Frankies in my many times seeing Jersey Boys, so I'll probably be hard to faze, whatever the outcome.

This isn't a movie, though? It's a proshot. At least that's what the Deadline article implies. Obviously, that doesn't mean they won't do post-production on his voice, but still, it's not a movie.
I love people who write a statement as a question. Cute. If it ain't on stage or live, it's basically a movie with dubbing. Because he can't sing. Period.
Yesterday night, the Jonas Brothers pre-taped their "Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular" performance - complete with a drone display and special guest Marshmello - outside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hear Nick is staying in Cleveland for a few more weeks due to Jersey Boys filming.
I was wondering that too, but Des McAnuff mentioned Cleveland in an online Q&A/reunion thing back in April. I also thought it was weird but didn't get to ask why Cleveland.
There has to have been major tax breaks or something from the city or state to keep it in Cleveland.
Also, there is a website about goings on in Cleveland posted that Nick Jonas and his wife, Priyanka Chopra have been in the city. This was also picked up by iheartRadio online. They have called this a tv version, but then a "streaming event". So, I'm guessing a streaming service?
I’d guess it’s linked to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? Maybe that’s the backdrop for the performance. But other than that, it seems very random. But I’ve seen cast members tag the Ohio Theater.

I would imagine so. The local touring presenter, PlayhouseSquare, announced a couple of years ago that it was pursuing tax breaks for out-of-town tryouts. Perhaps something's been worked out for filming.
The State Theatre (where the touring production always plays) has a very large stage and would be useful for filming, if that's the venue they're using.

Nick says it's been a couple of months in Cleveland working on this thing. Maybe I missed something, but is there anything else new about what this thing is or who it's for? Cool to see Andy Karl and Matt Bogart though.
