Maureen did Broadway in 1981. Christine Gradl did Philly in 1984. The late great Eileen Blackman on the original cast recording did Becky with Russ from 85-87.

I was PSM for the National Tour of PATENT LEATHER SHOES ['84-'87] and was fortunate enough to hear him sing every night. Lucky me. Bill Collins [the critic at the Phila Inquirer in '84] wrote Russ Thacker "has the voice of a lark." Indeed he did! Frank Anzalone Finchy@aol.com
