Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.
The Broadway play is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sound and sold 175 million records worldwide, all before they were 30.
Two members of the cast visited KVUE to speak about the show’s success and time in Austin. Jersey Boys is currently playing on tour in Austin, TX through September 05, 2010. The next performance is at San Antonio, TX from September 08 to September 26, 2010.
Hope Dworaczyk, the 2010 Playboy Playmate of the Year, attended Jersey Boys at the Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino on Friday, August 13th. Following the performance, Hope went backstage to meet the cast and take a photo with the stars of the show.

One question with Joseph Leo Bwarie:
What’s it like being on the road for years at a time with a touring show?
Joseph Leo Bwarie’s Answer: Not being able to come home is the hardest part. Really difficult. We become a family on tour, our cast and crew and administration that travels with us. We become a “don’t mess with us, we’re Jersey boys, and we’ll take care of each other no matter what” kind of group. When you’re away from your friends and family and relationships, it is isolating, so to be in such a company where everyone takes care of each other is important. We have that and I know that’s not true for a lot of tours. We have managed to not only be good at our jobs, but be good at being people together, co-existing as we travel in this crazy job we have pretending to be legendary rock stars.
