Growing up, Derek DeVlieger listened to, and was a fan of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, so much so, when he learned of “Jersey Boys” auditions, he didn’t hesitate to sign up.

He landed the part of Frankie Valli, complete with the clear falsetto, for which Valli is known.

“I pursued the part of Franki Valli because pretty much my entire life I’ve been a Frankie Valli fan,” DeVlieger said during a break from show rehearsals at The Lucille Ball Little Theater.
