In September 1980, Ken Marshall (who played Tony) was taking time off to film a movie so his understudy was on: Brent Barrett, making his Broadway debut.

Thanks for the reference to that thread Joey ... bet the book you could write would be just as interesting as Ted Chapin's FOLLIES book!

On World AIDS Day, it's appropriate to remember two members of the cats of that revival who can be seen in those pictures: Mark Fotopolous, who played Tiger, and my best friend Reed Jones, who played Big Deal.

In the taunting of Anita picture, Fotop and Reed are the two on the far right.

This is the production that Laurents felt the Jets were cast too "fey" (which wasn't the word he apparantly used), right?
