I thought if ever there would have been a good time for a revival for the Will Rogers Follies it would be this year. After last night all I could think of was "Hillarymania" to the tune of "Willamania"; I saw this show when I was a kid and loved it. The political references could be revised for Clinton, Sanders and of course Trump. And you gotta love the Tommy Tune rainbows and tambourine hats. Lastly even though I knew I was gay I had a big crush on Cady Huffman!

Met him twice - once in front of a theater and the other in the subway. He was extremely nice and talked to us at length about theater. Seemed interested to know what average theatergoers thought about theater related topics . These 2 meetings happened within the last 6 or so years

Since Will Rogers was an historical person, I don't really think we need a revival for which some modern hack writes "contemporary" barbs and quips for him. The things he did say are still relevant enough.
Glad to hear Tune is still a nice guy. He was a sweetheart to work with back in the 1970s; it took some effort to find a bed large enough to fit him comfortably, but that seemed a reasonable request.

When you see him , even from a distance, you know it is him. He is TALL.

He got a kick when I told him I saw him in Baker Street and Seesaw.
