Silhouettes JB Podcast Silhouettes JB Podcast

Hi there!

Happy Silhouettes Sunday, everyone! We've got a solo episode with Daveed this week. Gia's at a friend's birthday getaway in Virginia with limited internet access, so we got a "direct address" straight from Daveed for you all!

Today, we're breaking down our friend Aaron De Jesus's heartbreaking performance as Frankie Valli, with his interpretation of the "summers in Jersey" monologue. This performance really resonated with us!



Things to look out for:

-His reactions to the phone rings

-The amount of time he sits with the news of Francine's passing

-The subtle overcast of the weight of the world on his shoulders while he speaks during a potentially peaceful and happy moment in his life

Keep a lookout for tickets for Tuacahn Center of the Arts's production of Jersey Boys, directed by Aaron De Jesus and choreographed by his fellow Jersey Boys legend, Candi Boyd!

We're doubly excited to announce that Aaron honored us with the task of creating a dramaturgy packet for this production. We had a blast creating it! We love you, our friend!

Enjoy!

A' Salud♥️🍷

It’s Dawn (Go Away), but she’s coming back — and it’s our comeback to YOU! 😂

As you know, we were off the air for about a year and a half. We really missed you all, and we wanted to take some time today to catch up with you, show you some fun #JerseyBoys merch around our apartment, and break down the “Dawn” section in the show — because it’s really been on Daveed’s mind! We regularly break down scenes with our guests, but we thought it would be fun for you to see how we talk about the show at home.

Please let us know if you like this format! We can do more episodes like this if you’re into it. ♥️

We love you all. We’re so lucky to have the best Jersey community in you.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (He was Italian after all!) and A’ Salud! 🍷♥️

-Gia and Daveed
