EDITORS/PRODUCERS: Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young originated the role of "Frankie Valli" in JERSEY BOYS, the Story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and he sings lead vocals on the Grammy-winning, certified-platinum JERSEY BOYS album.  As Frankie Valli, Mr. Young became the only American actor in history to win all four major acting honors for a Broadway debut: the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards.  His other honors for JERSEY BOYS include a caricature at NY's world-famous Sardi's Restaurant, and being named "Person of the Week" by ABC World News Tonight.  Now a resident of Los Angeles, Mr. Young appeared to sold-out audiences of 17,000-plus as "Marius" in LES MISERABLES at the Hollywood Bowl, played the title role in the feature film comedy, OY VEY! MY SON IS GAY!, opposite Lainie Kazan, and was the first-ever guest star invited to appear on Fox's hit, Golden Globe Award-winning comedy, GLEE, as thumbless cough-syrup addict, "Henri."  The episode, "Acafellas," is one of GLEE's top episode downloads.  Mr. Young has played to audiences at the White House, Carnegie Hall, New Year's Eve in Times Square, in two sold-out solo concerts at Lincoln Center, Yankee Stadium, the New York City Marathon, Kennedy Center, Staples Center, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Radio City Music Hall.  In May 2010 Mr. Young debuted as a visual artist in a show at Willis Wonderland, the Valley Village home of Grammy-winning songwriter, Allee Willis.
