THE BOSS WAS HERE!
Comments(7) YES M’AM, AND I DON’T MEAN DES MCANUFF…MR BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WAS IN THE HOUSE. I JUST GOT MY WIG ON FOR THE START OF THE SHOW AND I WAS CLIMBING UP THE 3 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO MY DRESSING ROOM, WHEN THESE CUTE TEENAGERS WERE PASSING ME AND I SAID “WHO ARE YOU?” AND THE FIRST BOY STARTED INTRODUCING HIMSELF,AND THAN A FATHER’S VOICE, STARTED INTRODUCING THE NEXT 2 AND EVENTUALLY DAD GOT TO ME, AND PRESENTED HIS HAND AND SAID “HI, I’M BRUCE AND THIS IS MATEO.” I WAS LIKE ‘DUH’ I KNOW WHO YOU ARE..YOU HANDSOME, MEGA TALENTED ROCK N ROLL GENIUS…but instead I said something really clever like “Well, I hope it’s cooler in the house than outside” (Thank God my lines are witty in the show).
At intermission he came downstairs and Bruce the fantastic photographer, who must me bi-local, took tons of photos for Broadway.com and another photographer from? was there too. He was so gracious and talked about the influence the 4 Seasons and Frankie had on his youth growing up in NJ. His kids were spitting images of him, and his assistant Mateo made sure the girls got to be photographed too…Bruce looks so good.
BUT EVEN BETTER, YESTERDAY WAS TIM AND MY 4TH ANNIVERSARY…HE WROTE ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POST WHICH I’M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PRINT HERE, OR MAYBE NOT…He makes everything that’s happened these 2 years here worthwhile…knowing he supports me.
TODAY THE 3 GIRLS AND TRAVIS AND I REHEARSE WITH THE BAND FOR 4 HOURS. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT ARS NOVA 8 PM MONDAY NIGHT..IT WILL BE FUN..MAKE SURE YOU SAY HI…XO JENNIFER

Hi Jennifer,
Loved reading this blog entry about the Boss’ visit backstage. How fabulous and fun that must have been. Growing up in NJ, we were always so proud to claim Bruce as one of our own, along with Frankie, The Four Seasons, and so many other musical greats. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary, and many more. You are such a warm, related person, that it is no surprise that Tim sounds the same. Wishing you both every happiness. I’m seeing Jersey Boys again this Sunday, Aug. 12th (for the 7th time!), and hope to say hello after the show.
