Mike Reflects
Jersey Boys is one of my favorite shows.
As a longtime fan of Frankie Valli, I've lost track of how many times I've seen this show, and I've loved it every time.
This tour was, of course, no exception.
While I'm curious what the show would look like with different choreography and direction, it's easier to appreciate what the performers themselves bring to the table when all else is equal.
It's also nice to have a show where I know exactly what to expect before even getting to the theatre—authentic New Jersey profanity and all.
In terms of the interview itself, when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance to talk to Owen.
I always enjoy doing interviews to discuss shows that I love like that. In this case, I was especially interested in talking to Owen because of his time doing the show on Norwegian Cruise Lines.
I'm fascinated by the idea of performing a show, especially one like this, on a cruise ship.
As difficult as it can be to do a show like this perfectly on a steady stage on dry land, I can't even imagine what it's like to do on a stage that can sway and move (sometimes violently).
It's the sort of thing that I never really thought about until I did, and, once I did, I found I actually had a lot that I wanted to know about it.
It's always fun to get to explore new facets of theatre and performing that I haven't gotten to before, especially in the context of a show that I know and love.
