all-time FAVORITE

That would be 42nd Street, on Broadway, not the film ('tho related).

It really used to steam visitors who came to town who wanted to see "A Chorus Line," 'cause they'd heard the album, seen the road company, whatever, and decided that was what they wanted. When I forced them to come see 42nd Street, I always said, "That's not a chorus line. This is a chorus line!

Wow, compared to one full-dress production number by maybe 12 dancers, try 15 numbers, by dozens of dancers.

I still remember the first time hearing the strains of "We're In the Money" and wondering, will they do the part with the dimes? Did they ever, and that was only the beginning!

No neon violins for the "Shadow Waltz," though. That was the only disappointment.

The massive pounding of all those tapping feet, live! mmm mmm
