Steve and Chris (and Cristy), this was a great interview. On paper, Chris’s upbeat, positive, and absolutely glowing demeanor doesn’t always come acrss fully, but it did here. Love the 83-78 year olds revitalization after seeing Chris…but glad they saved their feelings for their kitchen table instead of the theater seats…also liked Chris’s phrase “to make a long story longer.” Thank you, Steve, too, for letting this talented thespian talk without interrupting…great piece.

What a great interview with Chris! I love the older couple getting turned on after seeing him as Frankie in the show. Chris is a sweetheart in person. He’s always been very kind to me in person and answering my questions in e-mails to him. I too miss the Sherry company as it has left Cali. for the last time. Sigh.

I just saw the Minneapolis Jersey Boys and loved it so so much. Then I found this great podcast. What a doll CKJ is. I’m so jealous of Mrs. Jones 🙂 but so happy for his success! What a job he does as Frankie!
