Jersey Boys Launches it’s 2nd National Tour from today at Philadelphia, PA. Brandon Andrus, 32, was born in Willingboro, N.J., grew up in Langhorne and graduated from Neshaminy High School in 1998. He plays “Nick Massi,” in the second national tour of the Grammy and Tony-award winning musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons opening this week at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia.
The Tony and Grammy Awarding winning hit musical Jersey Boys is on stage at the Hippodrome and will be rocking through Sunday, February 27, 2011.
Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons like is has never been told before.
The energetic and power packed musical tells 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.
“The reason that this is so successful is for the first time a Broadway show is not a made up story,” says Quinn VanAntwerp (who plays Bob Gaudio) to WBAL’s Scott Wykoff. “It is a real story about four guys coming from the street corner and all their trials and tribulations to make one of the greatest American rock groups of all time.”
“The music is everywhere and you know the music and you don’t know this story,” Steve Gouveia, from the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys who is in Baltimore playing the role of Nick Massi on stage at the Hippodrome. “Everybody knows the Beatles story and John Lennon and Yoko Ono and all that stuff, but no one knows Nick Massi’s story or Tommy DiVito’s story and how they tied in to making the Four Seasons what they were is fascinating.”
Merry Christmas to everyone! To add to your holiday cheer, enjoy four fabulous voices from the Broadway cast of Jersey Boys (Miles Aubrey, John Hickman, Dominic Nolfi, and Jarrod Spector)–performing at Broadway Sings for Toys in 2008!
