Waiting on the platform @ 42 nd street yesterday for the # 1 train to Lincoln Center I look next to me & see this uber tall person next to me. I turn to Mrs R & say "Is that Tommy Tune again"?
Lo & behold it was him. We chatted again & he remembered us but not from where we met the first time. He said he was going uptown for rehearsal & if we heard him correctly it might have been for the one man show he did in September.Maybe he is bringing it back for a limited run. I told him he should write a book about the trials & tribulations of all the shows he was in & he said maybe he should but there would be a limited audience.He joked I knew more about him than most people.I reflected I was not a spring chicken anymore & that is why I remember what I did.We talked about the original Follies.
Sadly we had to get off but bid him farewell. There was Tommy Tune, once King Of Broadway, the ultimate New Yorker. He was sandwiched in between two people on a subway seat.
