Meeting Tommy Tune

Outside of Brighton Beach today, I saw a very tall person approaching. I immediately told Mrs R it was no other than Tommy Tune.He is very tall & his face was tanned & hair now greyish

I approached him & started to talk . Mr Tune was extremely nice & we talked for about 10 minutes. He lamented how a show like Brighton could not make it & how everything now on Broadway is profit driven . He was trying to get some projects on but even he was having trouble. Someone else approached & asked him if we would ever see the Irving Berlin Show (I assume Easter Parade)& he said he was trying

We than had a trip down memory lane together when I mentioned all the shows I had seen him in & he remarked jokingly how I knew his whole life. I also mentioned how Mrs R & I had our first date @ Will Rogers Follies . He asked if we were married & when I said yes he said that was so romantic. I also told him a guilty pleasure of ours was Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public. This brought a smile to his face.He was total gentleman & a pleasure to meet & talk to.

I always hoped for Easter but I guess that is dead & buried

Maybe he will get Turn on eventually.

I hope so. There were a lot of nice things about it. Although it does need major book revisions IMO, and a richer selection of song standards. And much more Tommy Tune pizzazz! Maybe with more $$$ behind it he'll be able to beef up the ensemble, choreography and special effects. Nice premise, though. It has a real old-fashioned romantic musical feel to it. Just not enough character development, production numbers or oomph.

Hard to believe he's, what, 71 now??? Dancers stay forever young, don't they?

EDIT: Of course, my reply was to Roxy, not Namo. LOL

I saw Doolittle here in Denver. Not a total mess but it needs a lot of work in my opinion.
