Trivia
At the end of the film, Tommy DeVito says that he began working for Joe Pesci. Pesci won an Oscar for playing a different Tommy DeVito (based on real life gangster Tommy DeSimone) in Goodfellas (1990). Pesci and Tommy DeVito appeared together in Casino (1995), Gone Fishin' (1997) and The Good Shepherd (2006).
Clint Eastwood's directorial debut in the musical genre. He previously directed the Charlie Parker biopic Bird (1988) and the country-western singing Depression-era drama Honkytonk Man (1982).
Nick Massi: Alright, I'll be honest with you. It could have been an ego thing, everybody wants to be up front. But if there is four guys, and you're Ringo? Better I should spend some time with my kids.
Tommy DeVito: You know what I do now? I work for Joe Pesci. Little Joey Fishes, same kid I used to smack around. A couple of months ago, we were driving through the old neighborhood. He says "Hey Tommy, how do you remember yourself back then?" I says "I think I was a pretty stand up guy." He says "I gotta be honest with you. You were total prick. Nobody would have put up with your shit except we all needed something. Everybody remembers it the way they need to, right?
Bob Gaudio: I'm not drawn to the old neighborhood, my life never revolved around the old neighborhood, I don't give a fuck about the old neighborhood. I'm from wherever I happen to be, and these days that's Nashville, Tennessee. Just me, my beautiful wife and a good cigar. Quiet, and peaceful in the knowledge that none of this could have happened without me.
The actors sang the songs live on set. All the actors who play Four Seasons (except Vincent Piazza) had appeared in the original stage musical, and the soundtrack album is also going to feature original Four Seasons songs and Broadway cast recording. John Lloyd Young won a Tony on Broadway for his role as Frankie Valli.
Q
Are there any songs cut?
A
Some songs have been replaced as songs playing in the background on a jukebox. Songs like "Beggin'" and "Fallen Angel" have been cut from the film entirely.
