Bobby Fox | The Man Who Played Frankie Valli 850 Times On What Success Really Costs

from Showtime with Andrew G | Arts and Entertainment · host Andrew G

Andrew sits down with Bobby Fox, the Irish-born Australian performer who originated the role of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys and played it more than 850 times. A four-time World Irish Dance Champion who once toured the world with Riverdance, Bobby talks candidly about the reality behind a career built on rejection, why stage confidence is something he describes as "a trick," and the imposter syndrome that still shows up every single day.Together they explore his mother's relentless discipline growing up, the moment Frankie Valli personally selected him for the role, and how reframing performing as a business changed both his mindset and his craft. Ahead of Jersey Forever — a reunion of the original Jersey Boys cast — this is a rare, unfiltered look at what it actually takes to keep showing up.
