The cast of Jersey Boys was on hand to help bid farewell to departing host Katie Couric live on NBC's "Today Show" on Wednesday, May 31. Now, clips from the show are online.

Jersey Boys and "Today Show" fans can watch the Jersey Boys--
Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer and John Lloyd Young--performing "Bye Bye Katie" (a special version of "Bye Bye Baby") at this link and the Jersey Boys and Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein performing a special medley of songs written by Marc Shaiman for Couric at this link. Couric departed "The Today Show" after more than 15 years of appearing on it.

Jersey Boys is 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. The show is playing at Broadway's August Wilson Theatre (245 West 52nd Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue).

Jersey Boys has been nominated for eight Tony Awards--among them Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Actor in a Musical - John Lloyd Young, and Best Featured Actor in a Musical - Christian Hoff.

Jersey Boys "is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (Young), Bob Gaudio (Daniel Reichard), Tommy DeVito (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 available now on Rhino Records.
