On Sunday evening October 21 fans of the award winning musical smash Jersey Boys had the rare opportunity to meet Broadway's "Four Seasons" at an exclusive cocktail party benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA).

Tony Award-winner John Lloyd Young (Frankie Valli), Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff (Tommy DeVito), Daniel Reichard (Bob Gaudio), J. Robert Spencer (Nick Massi/Joe Long) and cast members of Jersey Boys came together for a special one-time-only evening of conversation, cocktails and hors d'ouevres with fans of the show.
The legendary members of The Four Seasons Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio and Tommy DeVito and Joe Long were also on-hand. The event was held at The View Bar on the 48th floor of The Marriott Marquis in Times Square, and also featured a silent and live auction of rare autographed one of a kind Jersey Boys memorabilia.

"Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons; a group of blue collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records world wide – all before they were thirty," explain press notes.

I’ll make this short, and then you can continue on and view the pictures.
What can I say? Another “Oh What A Night” happening to experience. I just can’t get enough of these, and when I think there will be no more another opportunity presents itself. The main purpose of this evening was to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Funds Aids, surely a very worthwhile purpose. But in all honesty I was there to see the Jersey Boys, both faux and real. Meeting up with old friends and finally put faces to names I had only known by way of the Internet. Everyone involved was as gracious and friendly as could be.
The highlight of the evening was having Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Joe Long together in one setting.
