What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?
THE APPLE TREEWhat is you most unique pre-show ritual?Having conversations with various family members or friends who are no longer living.What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?When i did the concert version of SAIL AWAY with Elaine Stritch, the young boy in the show broke his arm, playing in the stair well, right before a performance. Watching Elaine convince that kid that she could NOT do the show without him was pretty impressive! A doctor wrapped his arm, and put it in a sling, and he did the show! At the curtain call, Elaine brought the kid out with her, stopped the applause and explained to the audience what happened.
