Having danced in many Broadway shows (always in the corps) I can say that the highlights were:

All with the great Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and George Balanchine. I worked with many other famous names during my career, but these men were by far the most gifted and talented people I ever encountered during my time dancing on Broadway.
Miriam
Mister Matt- I would also like to be in Naked Boys Singing.
