John Lloyd Young’s Broadway + ‘Comparing Notes’ post show interview with Edward Seckerson

John Lloyd Young, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning original star of Jersey Boys on Broadway and the Clint Eastwood-directed Warner Bros film, brings a thrilling set of Broadway and West End showstoppers to the Crazy Coqs, July 2-4. Along with behind-the-scenes stories from his years in the Broadway and Hollywood trenches, Young sings the classics that helped shape his own showbiz aspirations: songs from Jersey Boys, The Wiz, Chicago, Bye Bye Birdie, Les Miserables, and more.

John Lloyd Young is the Tony and Grammy Award-winning star of the Original Broadway Cast of Jersey Boys as well as Clint Eastwood’s Warner Bros movie adaptation. Young is the only American actor to date to have received all four major Lead Actor honours in a Broadway  musical: the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Award.

“John Lloyd Young has a disciplined one-in-a-million high tenor shading into falsetto that he can direct through the stratosphere.” – The New York Times

“Mr. Young sings (classics) with such an angelic voice and flawless technique that even those who object to the idea of teeny-bopper pop in the shrine of the American songbook would have to give in.” — The Wall Street Journal

For the opening night of his run, following his set and after a short interval, John will be joined on stage by writer and broadcaster Edward Seckerson in conversation for one night only. 

Formerly Chief Classical Music Critic of The Independent, Edward Seckerson is a writer, broadcaster, podcaster, and musical theatre aficionado.
