Oh, it was a wonderful, wonderful evening. The funniest part happened right at the beginning, as I was walking in with Harry. Tim called me on my cell and we tried to coordinate meeting each other….where are you?? by the entrance?? where are you?? by the bushes?? etc., etc. But both of us were looking at our phones, since by time we did meet, we were literally two feet from each other. A perfect skit for Abbott and Costello in the millennium–but we’ll leave who plays whom to the imagination.

Thanks to the wonderful Linda Soo Hoo (Tiggerbelle) for making sure we all had tickets. And thanks to Harry, I had a wonderful seat. The show was marvelous, and Harry and I were like two little kids the minute we spotted you–our boxmates were shaking their heads in disbelief, but didn’t ask the usher to escort us out.

The stage door was something else. But while the fans huddled around you and JLY, I had Brian Stokes Mitchell to myself….ok, Mrs. Stokes Mitchell was also there to greet him.

I think Mrs. Valli was as thrilled to see you as JLY–she was just showing her poker face to you, but once she got back to us “bells were going off inside”. And wasn’t Garrett great with his Jersey Boys book….he was truly afraid Dad Stubbleyou was going to engulf you with his hug. (We had the fire dept. ready in case you needed to be rescued!) Actually when JLY came out, and I said, “JLY, this is Stubbleyou”, he questioned “Stubbleyou??”, but thankfully, didn’t ask me to explain the genesis of the name as he assumed it was something he should already have known.

For a minute, I didn’t recognize Alison who looked wonderful with her new hairstyle. Susan was nice to come out periodically with the announcement “JLY will be out shortly”….sort of like the guy waiting for a loan with the bank saying “any day now…” And JLY did emerge just in time for breakfast.

Just happy JLY got the hair cut after Les Miz. Was starting to look too much like John Lennon circa 1967 about to do the “Abbey Road” album.

Charly was gorgeous as ever, although Loni Anderson was hanging out at stage door trying to give Charly competition. When she observed there was no contest, she bowed out quietly. If Loni thought she’d go unrecognized, New Jersey Lasagna (Cynthia) blew her cover quickly. Gosh, these tourists from Texas are something else!

Also at the stage door was soap’s Dr. Cliff Warner and Jack Abbott, aka “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV” Peter Bergman with his lovely wife Mary Ellen. (When I worked for ABC 25 years ago, I never missed “All My Children”.)

I did miss Rosie O’Donnell but Ruth Williamson did a fine job. And it seems as if you had a wonderful time, too, Jennifer. Thanks so much for being so giving, as always. I’ll bet Mrs. Valli still hasn’t come down to earth, although I’m sure Grandma Castelluccio has tried to keep her on an even keel!

It was really nice to see you again and say a quick hello.

Seeing “Les Miz” at the Bowl was such a memorable experience!

Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!

God Bless.

It was great meeting you and Tim, too. What a memorable night for us JB fans and all who attended. This was a double first for my husband and I. First time seeing Les Miz and first time seeing you perform. What a thrill to finally have met you! Looking forward to seeing you again.

As a West Coast fan who had the privilege of seeing you 5 times on Broadway it was a real treat. I didn’t expect you to be mobbed, though!! Who knew?? Hope to see you perform again.

It was so wonderful seeing you and Tim, meeting some of your friends and having the opportunity to wish you a happy 5th anniversary on Friday! Love you!

As I recall you were inundated yourself with many autograph seekers, requests for pictures etc. Yes a lot of the West Coast JB fans didn’t have a chance to see you on B’Way but they heard/saw you many times on the Cast Album and print/TV appearances. Let me tell you they were all trilled to meet the original “Mary Delgado”

JB Fans don’t mess around especially when tickets are concerned. We also had in our arsenal Linda our “Ticketmaster” who made sure everyone that needed tickets had or upgraded them.

OMG I would love to hear you sing “On My Own”…please if you can include this song @ your next Cabaret.

Safe travels.

Much love to you & Tim.

xo & blessings,
Charly

I’m so happy that you had this experience at the Bowl, and I look forward to your future projects! Can’t wait to see what lies ahead.

Cheers,
Karen (who apparently looks like a 12-year-old) =)
