The Arts Council of Keansburg has announced that
Daniel Reichard, currently starring as
Bob Gaudio in Broadway's
Jersey Boys, will perform in a special concert at Joseph C. Caruso School in Keansburg, New Jersey on Monday, May 22nd.
Reichard is the first performer in the council's new concert series, in which proceeds directly benefit the newly formed organization.
Jersey Boys marks Reichard's Broadway debut. He has previously been seen on New York stages in
Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Celebration,
Radiant Baby at the Public Theater, and
The Thing About Men. He created
the role of
Bob Gaudio at the La Jolla Playhouse.
Jersey Boys, written by
Marshall Brickman and
Rick Elice, with music by
Bob Gaudio, lyrics by
Bob Crewe, and directed by two-time Tony Award-winner
Des McAnuff, is playing at Broadway's
August Wilson Theatre (245 West 52nd Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue).
The show is the story of FrankieValli and The Four Seasons:
Frankie Valli (
John Lloyd Young),
Bob Gaudio (Reichard),
Tommy DeVito (
Christian Hoff) and Nick Massi (
J. Robert Spencer). "This 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 sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty," state press notes.
A cast recording is now available on Rhino Records. The show recently won Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards as Best Musical.
