John Lloyd Young Bio
Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young originated the role of “Frankie Valli” in Broadway’s Tony Award winning Best Musical and international hit, JERSEY BOYS. As Valli, Young garnered unprecedented accolades from New York and national media, including one of the most exciting New York Times reviews ever written for an actor making a Broadway debut. Mr. Young went on to win the Lead Actor Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards, becoming the only American actor in history to win all four leading actor awards for a Broadway debut. Mr. Young sings lead vocals on the Platinum, Grammy Award-winning JERSEY BOYS Original Cast Album. Young’s other honors for JERSEY BOYS include a caricature at the world-famous Sardi’s Restaurant, being named Person of the Week by ABC World News Tonight, and being chosen for prestigious “Best of ” lists by Entertainment Weekly, Reader’s Digest and The New York Times.
Young returned to JERSEY BOYS on Broadway for several months in 2012 and 2013, and in early 2014 he made his West End debut in London opening JERSEY BOYS at the historic Piccadilly Theatre.
Young re-created his award-winning Broadway turn onscreen for director Clint Eastwood in Warner Brothers’ film adaptation of JERSEY BOYS, opening nationwide June 20, 2014.
A resident of Los Angeles, Young played to sold-out crowds of 17,000-plus as “Marius” in LES MISERABLES at the Hollywood Bowl, was the first-ever guest star invited to appear on Fox-TV’s Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning hit, GLEE, and guest starred on CBS’ drama, VEGAS.
In February 2013, Young made his debut at New York’s prestigious and famous Cafe Carlyle. Reviewing his performance, The New York Times wrote that Young “has a disciplined one-in-a-million high tenor shading into falsetto that he can direct through the stratosphere.”
Before JERSEY BOYS, Young was a New York theatre actor in plays including the New York-area premiere of Michael Healey’s THE DRAWER BOY, with Frasier’s John Mahoney; and he was named one of the Best Featured Actors in a Play by the NJ Star-Ledger as “Danny Saunders” in Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok’s dramatic adaptation of THE CHOSEN, opposite Theodore Bikel, directed by David Ellenstein. New York Theatre: “Charlie” in Julia Jordan’s THE SUMMER OF THE SWANS for director Joe Calarco (Lucille Lortel Theatre), “Moritz” in the Douglas Langworthy translation of Wedekind’s SPRING AWAKENING; and nail-biting number theorist “Claudio” in Rinne Groff’s THE FIVE HYSTERICAL GIRLS THEOREM, for Obie-winning Target Margin Theatre, directed by David Herskovits.
Mr. Young has played Carnegie Hall, the White House, Lincoln Center, New Year’s Eve in Times Square, Radio City Music Hall, the New York City Marathon, Yankee Stadium, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, McCarter Theatre Center, New York’s Town Hall, and the Hollywood Bowl. Young performed for our returning troops at Washington, D.C.’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with country star Lorrie Morgan, The Beach Boys and the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marvin Hamlisch; and he frequently sings the “National Anthem” at L.A.’s Staples Center for the 2012 Stanley Cup Hockey Champions, the L.A. Kings.
Television: CBS’s VEGAS, FOX’s GLEE, NBC’s LAW & ORDER, and appearances on CBS TV’s Late Show with David Letterman, ABC’s Live with Regis and Kelly, A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts, Entertainment Tonight, Celebrity Jeopardy, and several times on NBC’s Today Show (including Katie Couric’s highly-rated farewell). Member: William Inge Festival National Advisory Board. Co-chair: Actors Fund of America National Advisory Board. Graduate: Brown University.
Young debuted his visual art in a show at Grammy-winning songwriter Allee Willis’s home, Willis Wonderland, in May 2010. The show, “Food for Thought” acted as a fundraiser for AIDS Project Los Angeles, was a popular success, and was covered by the Los Angeles Times. Mr. Young’s art is now represented by the Hamilton-Selway Fine Art Gallery in Hollywood, CA and on the East Coast at Boca Raton, FL’s Elaine Baker Gallery. His first art commission was for the famed Beverly Hills, CA restaurant, Spago.
Mr. Young’s debut album, “My Turn…” is available on iTunes. The entirely-acoustic album seeks to re-create in the recording studio classic 60s R&B songs in much the same way they were originally recorded, before the advent of sampling and Autotune. The album is Executive Produced by Dona R. Miller and Mr. Young’s Under the Skyway Productions, and produced by London producer Arthur Baker and by Tommy Faragher of Fox’s hit show, GLEE, whose cover of “Teenage Dream” was the first song from the hit show to reach #1 on the Billboard Charts.
John Lloyd Young proudly and actively supports charities including Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, amfAR, Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang, The United Service Organization (USO), The American Cancer Society, AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) and the Actors Fund of America.

How do I hire John Lloyd Young for a private event, corporate event, nonprofit gala or convention?
To hire John Lloyd Young for a private or corporate performance, the event buyer must first determine whether the artist is available and interested in the proposed engagement and then submit an offer through the appropriate authorized representative. The offer typically includes the event date and location, type of event, proposed performance format and fee.
Celebrity Direct represents event buyers throughout this process, including availability inquiries, offer strategy, negotiation, contracting, rider review and production coordination.
How much does it cost to hire John Lloyd Young for a private or corporate event?
There is no single published fee to hire John Lloyd Young for a private or corporate event. The performance fee is negotiated for the specific engagement and can vary based on the date, location, event type, performance format, travel requirements, current touring activity and other circumstances surrounding the event.
Celebrity Direct can obtain current availability and pricing from the appropriate artist representative for a specific event.
What total budget should I expect when hiring John Lloyd Young?
The total cost of presenting John Lloyd Young can be higher than the negotiated artist performance fee. Depending on the engagement, additional expenses can include airfare or private aviation, hotels, local transportation, sound, lighting, staging, backline, labor, hospitality and other requirements contained in the artist’s rider.
For this reason, event buyers should evaluate the all-in cost of the performance, not simply the artist fee, before making an offer.
How can I find out if John Lloyd Young is available for my event date?
John Lloyd Young’s availability for a private or corporate event must be confirmed through the appropriate authorized representative. Availability can depend on touring and recording commitments, personal scheduling, event location, travel requirements and whether the artist is interested in the particular engagement.
Celebrity Direct can submit the event details, check availability and determine whether an offer is appropriate.
How do I contact John Lloyd Young’s booking agent about a private performance?
A corporate, nonprofit or private-event buyer generally does not need to locate John Lloyd Young’s booking agent personally. An experienced talent buyer can identify the appropriate authorized representative, present the event professionally and manage the inquiry and offer process on the buyer’s behalf.
Celebrity Direct handles this process for its clients and represents the event buyer rather than the artist.
How do I contact John Lloyd Young’s manager about hiring them for an event?
Artist management is not necessarily the appropriate first contact for negotiating a private performance. Celebrity engagements are generally handled through the artist’s authorized booking representation, management or another designated representative depending on the circumstances.
Celebrity Direct determines the appropriate contact for the proposed engagement and handles the communication and negotiation for the event buyer.
Will John Lloyd Young perform at a corporate event, convention, nonprofit gala or private party?
Whether John Lloyd Young will consider a particular private or corporate performance depends on their availability, the nature and location of the event, the proposed performance, the financial offer and artist approval. Celebrity artists are not simply available for every event at a published price.
A legitimate inquiry should therefore include enough information about the event for the artist’s representatives to evaluate the opportunity.
What information do I need before asking about hiring John Lloyd Young?
Before requesting availability or pricing for John Lloyd Young, an event buyer should ideally know the event date, city and venue, type of event, expected attendance, desired performance format and approximate entertainment budget.
Providing these details allows the artist’s representatives to evaluate the engagement and allows an experienced talent buyer to recommend the most effective offer strategy.
Does the quoted artist fee include travel and production?
Usually, the artist’s performance fee should not be assumed to represent the complete cost of the engagement. Travel, hotels, ground transportation, production, equipment, labor and hospitality requirements may be additional obligations of the buyer depending on the negotiated contract and rider.
The contract and rider should be reviewed before the event buyer determines the final entertainment budget.
Can Celebrity Direct handle the complete John Lloyd Young booking and production process?
Celebrity Direct can represent the event buyer throughout a celebrity entertainment engagement, including determining availability, developing the offer, negotiating with the artist’s authorized representative, reviewing contracts and riders, coordinating production requirements and assisting with the performance through event day.
Unlike an artist’s agent or manager, Celebrity Direct works on the buyer’s side of the transaction, helping the event planner understand the financial, contractual and production obligations involved in presenting celebrity talent.
