DR John, just curious.....would you be permitted to return to the studio with a different instructor?

Yes, but I won't. I will still work with the studio on other issues, but I'll dance elsewhere. They are still very good friends. And I understand their problems.

I agree. I think Betty Smith was a better storyteller than she was a writer.

When the Fantastiks opened again in NYC I received an email for discount tickets I hit the link right away and was able to grab 3cfront row seats . Little did I know they were essentially on stage. The Vixter was about 10 or 11 and the actors playing the dads kept interacting with her, singing to get. . Dumping mounds of confetti on her lap, during intermission we bumped into DR Elmore and a friend who were at the same performance. Elmore kindly introduced us to Mr Tom Jones who was playing the old actor.

First professional musical: either The Sound of Music or Camelot, national tour, Shubert Theatre, Cincinnati, 1962.

First book: can't remember; I was between 3 and 4.

First novel I remember reading: The Wizard of Oz, around 3rd grade.

First movie I remember seeing: Cinderella, 1950; I was three and a half years old.

I played Mortimer in THE FANTASTICKS - the original actor cast dropped out....I was the choreographer, and was offered the role....it was such great fun....and we had a good cast...

One of my favorite theatre memories!

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** June 04, 2017, 06:21:19 PM »

First touring show, I guess, was the first professional show: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers with Howard Keel and Miss Jane Powell in wigs and playing roles they had created decades before.

Or it might have been Hermione Gingold in a touring production of Side by Side by Sondheim.

I do recall a dinner theater production of The Fantasticks with the great George Lee Andrews as El Gallo.

How interesting DR Jr that you ended up getting that role. It must be fun being an actor. I often thought I could be s actor, but alas I never pursued it!!!

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** June 04, 2017, 06:27:32 PM »

I don't remember what exactly was the first chapter book I read, other than the Bible, as a kid, but I do remember reading The Wizard of Oz early and often. I also remember reading Romeo and Juliet in the second grade.

The Drama Desk Awards band is interesting in that they don't necessarily play music from the nominated show. I'm a Brass Band was just playing because Bandstand won the award for orchestrations.

And Play That Funky Music White Boy was the background for Jitney.
