Tommy DeVito/Jersey Boys
Jersey Boys at La Comedia (Springboro, OH)
“Jordan is an old-fashioned triple threat. When onstage his enthusiasm, passion, and talent compel you to watch him. When offstage his curious spirit and generous heart simply make you want to be around him.” Michele Pawk (Wagner College Performing Arts Faculty - 2003 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a play - Hollywood Arms).
Jordan Thomas Burnett as Tommy DeVito
"Director/choreographer Chris Beiser’s terrifically entertaining production of the toe-tapping, Tony Award-winning story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is wonderfully led by Jordan Thomas Burnett (Tommy DeVito), Derrick Bertram (Frankie Valli), Kyle Brace (Nick Massi) and Jonathan Wilson (Bob Gaudio). The cohesive, handsome and impressively harmonic quartet — embodying a lovingly dysfunctional family — smoothly delivers such pop classics as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man.” Burnett’s marvelously charismatic, hot-headed East Coast swagger, Bertram’s vocal prowess (“Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” is a winner), Brace’s frank authenticity (bringing believable disgust to Nick’s Act 2 tirade), and Wilson’s endearing persona makes this show a breezy good time".

others with respect and kindness". K. Dione (CITA tour female lead/vocal captain)

“Jordan has the perfect combination of talent, attitude and drive”, “In 20+ years, I have never been more impressed
with an artist!” Jeb R. (President & Executive Producer, Rand Productions)

dance step and gave it such style and conviction." Dewayne B. (Finding Christmas Choreographer)
Jordan Thomas Burnett as Tully Mars
"Jordan's natural gifts and work ethic in combination will take him further than most. He is a triple threat with a big heart and
a great sense of humor. He has both the special characteristics that can be taught (he is a highly skilled tapper, an impressive vocalist,
a compelling actor) and, perhaps more importantly, the special characteristics that can't be taught (compassion, empathy, curiosity).
After working with Jordan, one thing is for sure: you'll want to work with him again." Jillian T. (Rachel in Escape to Margaritaville)
"Jordan is such a joy to work with, I've enjoyed creating unforgettable moments with him on and off stage! It's quite inspiring to
watch him work, his work ethic is TOP TIER. Jordan is always working on how he can be improving/perfecting his performances. Aside
from being truly such a talented and hard working human being, he's also been such a great friend whom I cherish deeply".
Tyler G. (Brick in Escape to Margaritaville)
"Jordan, it has truly been an honor to watch you on stage every night. You are a true professional. I am in awe of your talent,
and yet you are so centered. You have zero ego. I cannot wait to watch your career take off."
Andrew T. (Stage Manager for Escape to Margaritaville)
This production is a super fun and enjoyable night of theatre for all, no matter your familiarity with Buffet songs. Perhaps
most importantly the singing, dancing and acting by the cast is magnificent. The leads, Jordan Thomas Burnett (Tully) and
Jillian Todd (Rachel) are fantastic." Emily B. (Konk Life Editor, the little network with a BIG VOICE)
"What an awesome small theater. We saw Escape to Margaritaville and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The audience sang along
to songs, they sold margaritas on stage during intermission, and the end was typical Jimmy Buffett style. The actors were all excellent.
We left with a little perk in our step and smiles on our faces. Thank you to all who worked hard on this show!"
