Tony and Grammy Award-winning original star of Jersey Boys, John Lloyd Young, returns to the Café Carlyle from Tuesday, March 28 through Saturday April 1, with all shows beginning at 8:45 PM.
Young will debut an all-new set of Golden Era classics with his highly personal interpretations of hits made famous by Little Anthony and the Imperials, Roy Orbison, the Four Seasons and more. Known for handling these unforgettable melodies with intense emotional moments, Young, as The New York Times declared, “has a one-in-a-million tenor shading into falsetto that he can direct through the stratosphere.” He’ll also sing several songs from his best-selling solo album of classic R&B, My Turn.
Young is a star of film and stage as well as concert and recording artist with multi-platinum records. As the original “Frankie Valli” in Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Jersey Boys, Young garnered accolades from the New York and national media, going on to become the only American actor to date to win all four major Broadway Leading Actor in a Musical honors for a Broadway debut: the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Award. He also starred in Jersey Boys in London’s West End and was hand-picked by director Clint Eastwood to reprise his role in the Warner Bros. film adaptation, becoming one of only a few actors in entertainment history to take his Tony-winning role to the big screen.
Appointed to the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities by Barack Obama, Young was sworn in at the Supreme Court of the United States by Justice Elena Kagan. As a member of the Committee, Young represented the United States on the first U.S. Cultural Mission to the Republic of Cuba, along with fellow Committee members Kal Penn and Alfre Woodard, guest artists Usher, Smokey Robinson, Dave Matthews, violinist Joshua Bell, playwright John Guare, U.S. arts officials, including the Chairs of the NEA and the Smithsonian Institution, and members of Congress.
General seating is at $100 per person, with bar seating at $80 per person, and premium seating at $150 per person. Friday and Saturday pricing begins at $95 per person for bar seating, $130 general seating and premium seating at $180. Reservations can be made online via Tock.
