Visit From Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner came to see the show. He told us that we inspired him to do better work. Wow, What greater compliment can you get...from anyone?
He shared with us about he and his brother's listening to the Four Seasons music and how it related to the guys in the Vietnam era.
To all of you who have seen Jersey Boys and have been inspired, entertained or encouraged-Thanks!

50,000 People In Times Square!

Man, that was a lot of people to perform for in one day. The first Broadway on Broadway was in 1992. The concert was so successful that it became an annual event, returning in July 1993, which was my first year performing in the event with The Who's Tommy. Michael Cerveris, Donnie Kehr and I sang Pinball Wizard from the show. in 1995 Broadway on Broadway moved to September so that shows previewing in the fall could participate. It has been held in mid-September ever since. Over the years, the concert has been broadcast on TV and radio, and webcast on the Internet. It was fun to do it again!

I'm Back!
I made it back from paradise last Tuesday, hit the ground running and put in a weeks work. That makes over 320 performances here in New York! No matter what challenges come along, I love serving this show up and it felt great to get back. Thank you to all the folks who are enjoying Jersey Boys with such enthusiasm and experiencing first-hand what they have been waiting for since they bought tickets months ago. And for all who keep coming back for more, I hope it keeps getting better and better for you too.
Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday.
See you at the theater!
