JERSEY BOYS… IN REVIEW!
“The University of Oklahoma junior took on the lead role with remarkable aplomb, boasting a voice, look, and presence. ”
“I have seldom seen a young actor assume such a complex role with such confidence [...] Peerless, clear, and spot-on.”
“I believe (Manny Tijerina) will be THE Frankie Valli that others will be compared against in time[...] BY FAR the best.”
“Manny Tijerina blows the roof off the Civic Center with every song [...] He feels born to play this role.”
