New year, New #JerseyBoys perspectives! Check out our first episode with a JB creative from Australia.
Meet Thomas Armstrong-Robley who is not only playing #TommyDeVito in JerseyBoys at the Star Gold Coast in Australia, but he is also DIRECTING the show!
Thomas is an award-winning visionary actor/director with the guts to create a new Australian production of Jersey Boys while respecting the original.
The show ran from Jan. 6th-16th at the Star Gold Coast in Queensland. We wish Tom and the team all the broken legs!
Find out how Tom:
-Learned the show and the Four Seasons catalog back and front after seeing JB in London with John Lloyd Young
-Nailed his most taxing role as Dewey in a production of #SchoolOfRock (Major niche music convo here!)
-Made himself more employable with his international concerts, including “Live at Frankie’s: The Songs of Valli and Sinatra”
-Helped create 40+ full-time jobs after a year and a half of no work for Australian artists -Informed his new portrayal of Tommy DeVito from the director’s chair

Key Thomas quotes:
“It’s not how many hours you warm up. It’s getting out of your head.”
“Put everything you have into everything you do...because you never know who’s watching. A small project [of JB] turned into a full-time job.” (Paraphrased)
EXTRA FANDOM ALERT: Listen for our thoughts on in-between moments in Jersey Boys. For example, when Bob Crewe ends up acquiring the money for the Four Seasons demo, what does Tommy do with his money? Is this when he buys apartments to keep his girlfriends in? Is that moment when Tommy starts to break? Please weigh in with us in the comments! A’ Salud!
