Very Sad News With Regards To John Altieri
It is with significant sadness that the Jersey Boys Podcast has to share the news with our listeners that John Altieri, one of the most caring cast members of Jersey Boys 1st National Tour & Las Vegas, has passed away. We just interviewed him on Thanksgiving Day 2007 in Orange County, and we were planning to see him at the opening night of Jersey Boys Las Vegas this past weekend. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family, cast members, fans, and all those that knew him. He will be missed.
Here are some additional memorials:
