About

John Lloyd Young, a Tony and Grammy Award-winning actor and singer, has captivated audiences worldwide with his mesmerizing performances on Broadway and beyond. His meteoric rise to stardom began with his portrayal of Frankie Valli in the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Jersey Boys.

Young's uncanny resemblance to Valli, coupled with his exceptional vocal range and ability to capture the essence of the legendary singer, made him an instant sensation. His performance earned him a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and a Theatre World Award, making him the only American actor to date to win all four major Broadway Leading Actor in a Musical honors for a Broadway debut.

Young's success extended beyond the Broadway stage, as he also won a Grammy Award for his performance on the Jersey Boys cast album. He went on to reprise his role of Frankie Valli in the 2014 film adaptation of the musical, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Beyond Jersey Boys, Young has also starred in several Broadway productions, including The Wiz, Finian's Rainbow, and The Boys in the Band. He has also released two solo albums, John Lloyd Young and Forever Young.
