Mark Ballas is heading for that Great White Way!
Dancing
with the Stars’ 2-time Mirror Ball Champion Pro is recently
noted for having been strangely absent from the Show's Cast Line-up for its
latest, televised Ballroom endeavor, Season 23, despite having been a constant
part of the Program’s beloved Professionals
since Season 4, and now elated Fans everywhere will know why!
“Thrilled to announce I’ll be playing the final
“Frankie Valli” on @JerseyBoysInfo on Broadway starting Oct 18th
till Jan 15th. See U there”
Mark’s
fellow Champion Pro and longtime best friend, Derek Hough, has recently expressed, according to etonline.com,
“It’s like a dream come true for him and I honestly cried when I found out.”

Currently a veteran of Broadway himself and set to
star in its upcoming Singing in the Rain
production, Hough also noted of
his friend’s debut,
“I teared up because I just know how much this means
to him and he’s so excited and it’s awesome.”
Mark’s peculiar phrasing of “the final ‘Frankie
Valli'” does, of course, refer to fact that Mark will be
portraying one the Play's lead characters of the same name during its final run
on Broadway.
Noted for being the 12th longest running
show in the history of Broadway, the highly successful production, Jersey Boys, will officially be closing down
from the Great White Way January 15th, 2017.
An incredible
opportunity, to say the least, for one of DWTS'
fan-favorite Dance Instructors and Choreographers; and also, one that this
particular Fan feels confident that Ballas
will (Pardon my French!) kick @$$ at; but, I think that I speak for torn-Fans everywhere,
Mark, when I say, Hey man, this is TERRIFIC news, and not to mention, quite the
prestigious gig! … As long as you’re “working your way back to” the Ballroom someday, right?!
