It really is bittersweet listening to Deven. Thanks for the interview. There is talk that he has left show biz for good. Hopefully, that is just talk, cause we'll miss him devastatingly.

JBBoy, Noebie, & Babara - Thanks for the recent comments. I still haven't heard anything definitive on Devin May so there is still hope he will still be acting. From the interview I didn't get the impression that he didn't enjoy acting. My guess is he need a break of some sort. The four main roles in JB are very demanding. - Steve

When I last saw Deven in Seattle last December, he said that he'd mentioned me in an interview he'd done. Since then, I'd searched far and wide to find that interview and eventually gave up. Well, the mystery has finally been solved! I can't believe that Deven spoke of me in such a wonderful way and it just goes to show what kind of person he truly is. It was an honor to get to know him a little during the tour's swing through the western states and I'll treasure the memories, and this interview, as long as I live! Thank you SO MUCH for posting it!

Andrea, Thank you so much for the comment. You are very welcome, but it is really people like you that bring the magic of Jersey Boys back to what really matters - friendship - that needs the thanks. Thank you for all you have done to encourage the cast and help them know they are appreciated. Please check out the Christopher Kale Jones podcast. He mentions you also. - Steve & Christy
