Tony Award-winner John Lloyd Young talks about starring as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys Broadway and reprising his role as the pop icon in the movie version that opens on 6/20/14
I loved this movie, I haven't seen the play yet but will in the future. However, the movie is fantastic. Take a box of kleenex because this guy can not only make you laugh he will make you cry. It took me back to those days as I was about 15 when they were hits. Wow the memories. John Lloyd's voice is so real you will think it is Frankie. All of the actors voices were right on. A must see.
I watched the movie today with my mum and I fell in love with John and the rest of the cast. I wasn't born in the era of the 4 seasons, but it was like I was there. Amazing
I've only seen the movie Jersey Boys, but it was fantastic!! fell in love with John Lloyd Young right then and there! then last month I saw Frankie Valli in concert, he put on an amazing show!!
I just watched the whole Movie and God Damn, how did I miss this when it came out. Clint Eastwood found the Best Actors to play this and this kid was Incredibile. Great Fukn Job....
I saw this yesterday and loved it! Please do not compare the movie vs. stage. They are two different venues and have to connect with audience in a different manner. Please go see it and enjoy!
i saw Jersey boys this weekend, because we showed up late to watch 22 jump st. I thought it was gonna be "the godfather." I have to say I loved it. I don't cry with any movies, but I did watching this one. The part that made cry was when Frankie's daughter died, and they played the song: my eyes adored you. I had a similar experience, and that part just killed me. Great movie!!
omigosh this guy was really grreat in the movie...brings back memories when Frankie Valli came to Detroit in the 60s and there were loads of screaming fans outside the venu and we were all behind blockades so I had the idea to act like a photographer and I walked thru the blockades and the police and I grabbed Frankie and kissed him before he went inside...boy was he ever surprised...loved that kiss...
I remember seeing this movie on the poster thing at the movies and thinking whatever cuz I had no idea what it was about, and remember my sister wanting to see it but i didn't, so we seen something else, but now that I seen it and Know it, and now love John Lloyd Young ❤️💖😍 I regret my choice 😭😭😭😭😭😭
+melodykey I know what you mean. He's handsome, humble, compassionate, has a wicked sense of humor, is ivy-league educated & also studied abroad, is talented in multiple art areas, is trilingual (fluent in Spanish & Mandarin Chinese), & he's also athletic (brown belt in kung-fu). What more could a woman want?
He's gorgeous he is going to be 40 next year and if it's Live with Kelly and Michael, what's Jim Parsons doing there if the sign in the corner says Live with Kelly and Michael?
The play also is loaded with cussing and really isn't as family-friendly as some people want to think. That's how they talked. It really wouldn't be realistic for four Italian-American men growing up in the projects of New Jersey surrounded by the Mob to be saying "Gosh darnit to heck!" or anything like that. Yes, the movie is rated R. If plays were rated like movies, it would also probably be rated R for the language. Having said that, I'm 35. I went to see it twice with two separate friends. Both times, we were the youngest ones in the theater. And I loved every minute of the movie--both time I watched it. And I'm planning on getting the Blu-Ray when it comes out. I'm not so sure my first friend liked it as much as me. My second friend seemed to have a much better time. It kind of depends--do you like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons? If so, you'll like this movie. If not, I'd recommend watching it anyways, because it's a really good movie. But you're probably not going to care much for the music (which is sad and you don't know good music when you hear it! :D )
mr percy Jersey Boys is not the only Broadway musical filled with cussing, although it had more than others. There is cussing in RENT, If/Then, Avenue Q, and the short lived musical (like two or three months on Broadway) Cry-Baby. There are others, but these are the ones that came to mind. It is really all about the theme of the musical (where it takes place, what time period, the story, subjects, and characters) Sometimes the cussing is used for comedy.
icomeandgobybubble87 I agree with You. I really didn't expect those people not to curse back in that time,but it is still done today. this was a great movie about a great group of singers. I wish Clint E. would do more about some of the groups in earlier years. wish He could find guys to sing like Dion & the Belmonts; etc.
I saw/loved the play. I saw/loved the movie last week. But I am BEYOND disappointed that 'the powers that be" decided to make it an R rated film. There were 50 people in the auditorium all with white hair. I would LOVE to take my great neice, but she's 16. By dropping 'f' bombs all over the script and rating it R 'they' lost an entire audience that spends HUGE bucks seeing movies. WHAT were 'they' thinking?????? It's a fabulous American story that should have been as accessible to a a younger audience is the play.
You mean to tell me that your 16 yr old niece never heard f bombs before. My daughter is 12 and she must have seen the dvd movie with me about 3 times already because we love the music.
He has the talent,the voice,the smile to make it really big in the music industry.
Sky is the limit for John Lloyd Young.
He did such a fabulous job portraying one of the greatest performers of all time.

"Well, I have psychological problems, I guess." (cue the dimpled "Aw, shucks" smile) Lol. So adorable.
You again?😂you're in a lot of Frankie Valli video comments😊🎶
I've only seen the movie Jersey Boys, but it was fantastic!! fell in love with John Lloyd Young right then and there! then last month I saw Frankie Valli in concert, he put on an amazing show!!
For being a 2hr + movie, it flowed very well and had a nice balance of music, drama and sharp storytelling. Definitely a must see.
I've seen it three times and I want to see it three more. It really is an amazing movie.
I just watched the whole Movie and God Damn, how did I miss this when it came out.
Clint Eastwood found the Best Actors to play this and this kid was Incredibile. Great Fukn Job....

I seen Jersey Boys Movie a thousand times and I love it so much because John Lloyd Young is so very cute and adorable
John's face is so adorable
I saw it last week and am feeling drawn to go again. What a great story! And something I haven't heard anyone say is that he has beautiful teeth!
John Lloyd Young is so unbelievably talented. Grew up with the Four Seasons and of course Clint Eastwood. So one of my favorite movies ever. Amazing!
i saw Jersey boys this weekend, because we showed up late to watch 22 jump st. I thought it was gonna be "the godfather." I have to say I loved it.

OMG! Now all I can picture is Frankie Valli or Tommy Devito saying "Gosh darn it to heck," with their Italian accents and all. Hilarious!!!
historylover the R rating should tell any one it is not G or PG; but I loved it and did not dwell on the cursing. great movie.

I didn't know he is 40 I thought he is 30 , just realize when I found out at Google ❤️❤️❤️❤️jly
I think his birthday is in July. I wonder what he'll do for that.
He is so damn hot. That is all.
Eder as
Katrina Sanko MAMMA MIA.
Karlie Luke is CRAZY FOR John Lloyd!!!
Barbara Capps I'm 13 and my mom took me to see it its not that bad! Just take your niece to see it! Don't complain about it on CZcams.
Only John Lloyd Young video s
In what other shows or movie can we see him? He is very good!
gostei do filme, pecou na maquiagem
Does anyone know where I can find his tony acceptance speech?
Please increase volume level of Jim Parsons microphone. The other lady speaks too much and do not allow him to be heared. Regards...
The thing I took away from Jersey Boys was that as good as John's voice is, he still isn't FrankieValli.
