John Lloyd Young burst onto the scene as the charismatic original star of Jersey Boys on Broadway and on screen in the Warner Bros. movie, directed by Clint Eastwood. His unique musical point of view has made him a hit with audiences across the globe. Young’s thrilling interpretations of classic favorites and unexpected, genre-bending knockouts range from nostalgic pop to R&B, from jazz to Broadway and beyond. The show features such classics as “Sherry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” and “Unchained Melody,” as well as iconic songs originally introduced by the likes of The Platters, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Smokey Robinson, and Roy Orbison.

El Portal Theatre is a cherished historic landmark nestled in the heart of North Hollywood, in the vibrant San Fernando Valley—just minutes from Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Disney, ABC, Radford, and NBC Burbank. Originally opened in 1926 as a vaudeville house, El Portal quickly became a cultural centerpiece. Over the decades, it evolved from hosting vaudeville acts to screening silent films and later Academy Award-winning movies, earning its place as the premier movie house in the Valley.

Through the Jazz Age, the Great Depression, four wars, and even the devastating Northridge earthquake of 1994, El Portal Theatre has endured, standing as a testament to the power of the arts and community. Affectionately known as “the Jewel in the North Hollywood Crown,” El Portal Theatre is preparing to celebrate a remarkable milestone—its 100th anniversary next year.
