They're all pretty good. Even though I'm American, I think Ryan Molloy in the London show is better singer and looks the part. How the hell do they find a guy who has that type of voice?
Does anybody know the name of the guy who sings the Frankie Valli piece in this video at the US open, he is fantastic, sounds a little like Gene Pitney.
This is the group I saw on Broadway and they are the best of them all. Michael Longoria was brilliant and Christian Hoff won a Grammy for his role in Jersey Boys. He is currently on Broadway in Pal Joey and he will go far. Wonderful video
No. Christian Hoff and Michael Longoria were in the OBC. Hoff originated the role of Tommy DeVito. Longoria originated the role of Joe Pesci, but went on to replace John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli when Young was the first of the OBC Four Seasons to leave the show.
they're good but the original cast was best. they just clicked so well. i kno some of these guys were aprt of the original cast though but it just doesn't sound the same with all the original.....not very fond of this frankie...
he may not have the greatest voice ever since it is a little scratchy like some other people have said here, but he's way more unique than the others because of that. and he has a really unique facial twitch that he does with his eyes and mouth. random, but it helps make him seem real, not an actor
I think Sebastian Arcelus sounds pretty good even though he isnt the original cast. I dont really know much about the others but they sound pretty good.
Sebastian took me backstage! I think JLY is better...Longoria's voice is a little bit scratchy...naturally. I met J. Robert at the SD. I was the first person there, and Christian Hoff literally ran out the door to his vespa and scooted away. that kinda pissed me off, he didnt sign any Playbills. grr. BUT I WENT BACKSTAGE!!!!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME
i met him going in, and talked for a while, and then i asked if he would and he said to come back to the sd after the show and he would, and he did! check out my JB review
I saw him last year playing opposite Stephanie J. Block and let me just say that his performance was absolutely phenomenal! I got to meet him at the stage door for Wicked in December of '07. I was fortunate enough to see him in Jersey Boys in July of '08 and was able to meet him again. If you're ever in NYC and he's currently doing a show, you can just hang out at stage door and meet him that way. He's great with his fans :)
John MIchael Dias is the best Frankie in my opinion

The cameras shown onstage in that scene are actually real, operating cameras and they feed live to the screen above the stage.
