Joseph Siravo, ’77, right,
and Brandon
Matthieus (formerly Singleton), ’98, MA ’98,
each play several parts in the first national tour of
the Tony- and Grammy-award-winning Jersey Boys. Among
their past credits are Matthieus’s role as Simba in
Broadway’s The
Lion King and Siravo’s recurring role as Johnny
Boy Soprano on The Sopranos. When they met in rehearsal
for Jersey Boys’ six-month run at San Francisco’s
Curran Theater, they realized they had something in common
beyond a Stanford education—each
sang in the Mendicants, 20 years apart. Both actors plan
to continue with Jersey Boys to Los Angeles in May.
