Cast members of JERSEY BOYS paid tribute to the king of country music, GEORGE STRAIT, in the best way they knew how: by covering two of Strait's best-known hits.

The Second National Tour of Jersey Boys, the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning hit musical, will play its 1,000th performance at the Plaza Theater in El Paso, TX on Sunday, June 1 at 7:30pm, the final performance of the El Paso engagement. Following this historic performance, Jersey Boys will play an engagement at Bass Hall in Fort Worth, TX from June 3 - 15.

I don't think there's any "jukebox musical" that's as entertaining and interesting as JERSEY BOYS, and there are a lot of musicals out there that rely on classic rock, pop, country and blues for their score. What sets JERSEY BOYS apart from the rest is the fact that it actually has a story to tell (book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice), and it integrates these timeless tunes seamlessly (music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, although a plethora of other songwriters contribute as well) by examining how they were created and recorded. The current touring production playing the Fabulous Fox Theatre is a nostalgic blast that's sharply performed and staged.

My apologies for this tardy blog...

It's Monday! Which means it's either a day off or a travel day, and since we had been lucky to be in Salt Lake City for a couple of weeks, today is a travel day to Little Rock, Arkansas.

'Jersey Boys' is ferociously fun. And the four very appealing leads in the Salt Lake City cast of the national tour bring the musical vividly to life. Each actor is terrific in his role as a member of the Four Seasons.

So let me see... When was the last time I had the honor of being the blogger of the month? Oh yeah, just about a year ago when I flew off to play Bert in Los Angeles on the tour of Mary Poppins, which just closed in Alaska on Sunday the 2nd of June.

The National Tour of the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning hit musical JERSEY BOYS, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, welcomes Nick Cosgrove (Frankie Valli) and Nicolas Dromard (Tommy DeVito) beginning June 4 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They will join a company that includes Brandon Andrus (Nick Massi) and Jason Kappus (Bob Gaudio) as The Four Seasons, with Barry Anderson and Thomas Fiscella. The Salt Lake City premiere engagement ofJERSEY BOYS will play June 4-15 at the Capitol Theater. Following Salt Lake City, the company will move to Little Rock, Arkansas for a premiere engagement at the Robinson Center Music Hall June 19 -23. =

As the Broadway production of Mary Poppins comes to a close, we asked current and original principle cast members, as well as current cast members who have been with the show since day one, to share with us some memories and tell us what being a part of the magic has meant to them. Rebecca Luker, who was the original 'Winifred Banks,' shared:

In anticipation of a New York production, Cameron Mackintosh's 1992 musical comedy, MOBY DICK, has received a staged reading.

Thursday. Usually a day of only one show. A day where a paycheck is magically delivered to your bank account by direct deposit or by check to your hands by a company manager... Well today was no ordinary Thursday! First of all, because it is our last week in Los Angeles, the crew will be loading out the show right after the matinee on Sunday to get it to the east coast so they changed the schedule around to have a matinee and an evening performance today. Tonight's audience was off the HOOK! They were hooting and hollering and clapping and screaming and making us feel like rockstars. I'm sorry to say that a good audience gets a better performance out of people on stage. Not that much better, but still, if we have a crowd that is incredible, the actors will be electrified and have more energy. That's just the truth.

Ah LA. Another day full of fun things to do before heading to the show. First the fun things. Met up with my pal Matthew Rocheleau. You may have seen him on the Fiat commercial a while back. The commercial is about this gorgeous Italian woman and then Matthew is in it somewhere. All I remember is this gorgeous Italian woman...

So I woke up today and had the great pleasure of going to a photo shoot for this really cool project called 'Words with Friends' (no relation to the mobile game that is like Scrabble). You can check out the photos at http://www.wordswithfriendsproject.com/. Mine will probably be posted in the next few days. I'll make sure to tweet them (my twitter name is nicolasdromard). The shoot took just 45 minutes. I had to come up with some sayings to write on my body, things that I wanted to say, that mattered to me. You'll be able to read them soon. It was fun and the photographer, Adrien, who is also the creator of the project, was so sweet.
