i wonder how many years of voice lessons these guys took and then had to learn a totally different way of singing to do this show....their voice teachers must cringe. don't get me wrong, i love jersey boys, but that is not the way most voice teachers would teach!
he was just nervous..that is why his voice was shaking i mean the president was watching this..i was there and it was amazing!! fourth of july is the best time to visit d.c., it is reallllyyyy busy after the celebration but it is amazing!!!!
@Laxetiv I am not sure if you have a music background but you are DEAD WRONG! Jarrod is perfect, he hits the notes, and is an amazing talent. I strongly suggest that you go and see him in the show you will be hook like me and keep going back. I hope Jarrod plays Frankie for years to come

so awesome! Michael Ingersoll is WONDERFUL!!!! and so is Jarrod,but i must say even Jarrod doesnt compare to Dominic.(dominic scaglione jr.-most recent chicago frankie,until the close)ive seen both of them perform,and Dominic is just..what can i say,absolutely amazing,wonderful,fantastic,marvelous,beautiful..theres too many words.
It's obvious that you have a great affection for Dominic. He is a wonderful talent but has a long way to go to achieve Jarrod's level. This by no means is a negative on Dominic. It would be more appropriate for you to praise Dominic on a video he appears in then to try and promote him on one that he wasn't invited to perform on. As I understand, this performance included actors from different casts around the country and if Dominic had been chosen then he would be in this video.
Bob Gaudio says so himself that Stephen Ashfield is the best version for his part and Glenn Carter is by far the best Tommy. London Cast are great. Jarrod is also amazing.
Yes Nerris121, I have to agree, I saw Jersey Boys in NY in May and in London in July and there is no doubt tha Jarrod Spector was born to be Frankie Valli, he could blow all the Frankies around the world out of the water...
This video makes me smile so much. I love seeing Michael and Jarrod back together on stage. Jarrod is an amazing Frankie (we've missed him here in Chicago) and Michael brings so much to the role of Nick. I would love to see them on stage together again.
Wow, that's a great video -- especially, Jarrod Spector. I love watching him sing! He has such a great stage presence and makes it look so effortless and flawless.
Just saw it in Vegas this past weekend. I don't think I could ever see anywhere else. Rick Faugno as Frankie, Deven May as Tommy, Jeff Leibow as Nick, and Drew Gehling as Bob. GREATEST
So true...so great seeing Ingersoll and Jarrod again!! Jarrod is one of a kind, Chicago misses him....I seriously can't stop watching this, Jarrod's voice is just incredible, his singing his effortless. All these guys were amazing, such a great video!!
Good effort Jarrod. Didn't nail Sherry or Big Girls Don't Cry (too raspy) but Walk Like A Man was great. Can't Take My Eyes Off You was the best rendition I have hear since Frankie. If you want to hear a great cast, check out the Australian cast on You Tube (Dancing with the Stars rendition).
Actually I don't need to..... Ask John Lloyd Young and some of the regular bloggers on Jersey Boys Blog who I am as a Jersey Boys fan and he'll vouch for me..... Watched Jarrod, Chris Jones, John Michael Dias mostly with the 1st and 2nd Nat'l Tours in SF, but have supported the OBC as well! (Mike from SF)
Basically since they had a long run in SF, plus having seen the Broadway cast quite a bit on business, also knowing principal and supporting cast members helps with requests for backstage tours in SF and at the August Wilson Theatre.
not cool, but just fortunate to have Jersey Boys perform in SF for a long period of time, as well as being lucky to have watched them in other cities with a group of other Jersey Boys fans.
If you want to see short clips of Graham Fenton singing, search here on You Tube for "Nicole and Graham." There are 2 videos of him singing at his wedding! I found these on a Jersey Boys discussion forum. I've been trying to find videos of him on YT singing in Jersey Boys, but haven't been able to find any yet. Somebody please sneak in a camera!! I saw him in Nashville and he was awesome.
I saw Josh Franklin today in Boston, and he was fantastic as Bob Gaudio.
Graham Fenton was playing Frankie. I am surprised there isn't much on the web about him since I thought he was fantastic and quite perfect for the role.
Josh Franklin is the only one on the National Tour. He plays Bob Gaudio, and he is a fantastic performer and vocalist.
Graham Fenton is not really the understudy because the Playbill listed all of the shows he would be in during the show's run in Boston. Him and Joseph share the role, but Joseph performs in the majority of the shows each week. If Graham performs at the show you attend, you will definitely not be disappointed since he is much better than most of the Frankies on YouTube.
Steve Gouveia and Matt Bailey are the other 2 principal members of the national tour, and they are both phenomenal performers as well. If you really want to hear Joseph's voice, Search for the "Jersey Boys" clip from this year's Tony Awards. The show has been selling out nearly every night in Boston since just everything about it is amazing :)
Joseph Leo Bwarie is a total dreamboat and fantastic as Frankie! I have seen him twice as Frankie and will be seeing him in D.C., Memphis and Charlotte.
I remember hearing this at the show. Me and my family were camping at the steps of the capitol near the top. In fact, me and my brother waited for over 5 hours just to see it, and we had to save that spot for our parents. Believe it or not.
Great performance. However, I don't like how much they sped up all the songs. Even Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You. The Jersey Boys versions are already sped up from the original Four Seasons track and this was just too fast. The whole thing felt rushed, felt chipmunk-ish...
Josh Frankliin is HOT!! If you see him live, you'll see why. He's awesome as Bob Gaudio -- his voice is incredible!! And if you meet him afterwards, you'll see he's a great guy!! Go see the National Tour!
I thought on the first song Jarrod's voice sounded nervous or something. But outdoor sound quality is probably not as good as a theater.
BTW, I saw Josh Franklin live in two different shows and it didn't sound like his voice was dubbed by someone else here. To me, he sounded just like it did during the regular show.
Apparently, the "Boys" are doubled vocally (on an off-stage mic) by "Jersey" alums Christopher Kale Jones (Frankie), Drew Gehling (Bob), Douglas Crawford (Tommy), and Nathan Klau (Nick). Sounded great. I thought they might be using pre-recorded tracks, but, I'm told, it was all live. Fantastic performance and congratulations to all.
i LOVE how everyone was enjoying this performance there singing along or either dancing along so was the orchestration....i LOVE it when Jersey Boys does a performance...Jarrod<3
This really was a great performance. was glad to see they had on different suits - that really fit. Jarrod was Jarrod - the true performer. Michael sounded especially good.
Jarrod, by far the most charismatic, handsome and best sounding Frankie Valli, along with the rest of this cast -the best of all the jersey boys.
