Jersey Boys News: Toronto



Local Theatre news appeared today in The Toronto Star. It involves the Toronto version of Jersey Boys, which is set to open on August 24th at the Toronto Centre for the Performing Arts. Theatre journalist Richard Ouzounian is reports on some casting news:


"A Toronto guy is going to be one of the Jersey Boys... Jeremy Kushnier, last seen here in 2003 in Aida, will play bad guy Tommy DeVito, which he's already done to critical acclaim in Chicago and Las Vegas. Director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo also hail from Toronto, making this a show the city has every reason to take to its heart." (thestar.com)



The remaining leading roles in Toronto will be performed by Joseph Leo Bwarie (Valli), a Vegas company vet; Steve Gouveia (Nick Massi), who has appeared in the show since its 2004 La Jolla Playhouse premiere; and Andrew Rannels (Bob Gaudio).
