Broadway vet Jeremy Kushnier will assume the role of Tommy DeVito in Jersey Boys on October 9 at the August Wilson Theatre. Young takes over the role from current star Andy Karl, who will play his final performance on October 7 before beginning rehearsals for the forthcoming Broadway revival of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Kushnier has toured in Next to Normal and Aida. 

The Tony-winning musical currently stars John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli, Matt Bogart as Nick Massi and Quinn VanAntwerp as Bob Gaudio. The Jersey Boys cast also includes Peter Gregus, Mark Lotito Miles Aubrey, Erik Bates, Jared Bradshaw, Cara Cooper, Ken Dow, John Edwards, Russell Fischer, Katie O’Toole, Joe Payne, Jessica Rush, Dominic Scaglione Jr., Nathan Scherich, Sara Schmidt and Taylor Sternberg.
