When the Broadway production of the The Book of Mormon played its 4,643rd performance on December 28 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, it surpassed Jersey Boys to become the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history.

To mark the occasion, four members of the current Broadway cast of The Book of Mormon - Noah Marlowe, PJ Adzima, John Pinto, Jr., and Ben Laxton - paid tribute to the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons musical in a new video featuring a “Walk Like a Man"/“Man Up” mashup.

I love when shows pay tribute to each other, although I think it has more impact when it's done live - like when the Broadway production of Les Miz surpassed the run of A Chorus Line in 2002 after 6137 performances.
