This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira sits down with Travis Cloer — the longest-running “Frankie Valli” in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning phenomenon “Jersey Boys.” Now, he’s stepping into the spotlight as himself, bringing The Frankie Valli Songbook to life in the Access Showroom at Aliante Casino on October 18.
In this lively conversation, Travis shares how he managed to keep his own identity while performing one of the most iconic roles in musical theater; his deep love for the music that shaped a generation; and the lasting influence Frankie Valli has had on him personally and professionally.
Travis reveals why his current show isn’t your typical tribute—it’s a heartfelt homage to the songs and the sound, infused with his own twist. Joining him onstage is none other than Robby Robinson, Frankie’s longtime music director of 47 years. Travis also recalls the unforgettable moment he first met Frankie backstage at "Jersey Boys," and how the show opened the Four Seasons’ music to a whole new generation.
He dives into the artistry behind staying true to that legendary sound—layering harmonies using only his own voice, honoring the lush production of the original recordings, and delivering that energy live with a visual flair that brings every note to life.
From “Grease” and “Sherry” to “Walk Like a Man,” “Swearin’ to God,” “Girl Come Running,” “Rag Doll,” “Dawn,” “My Eyes Adored You,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”—Travis celebrates the timeless hits with heart, style, and unmistakable passion.
