As BWW New England features correspondent Jan Nargi describes "the name "Tommy Tune" and a kaleidoscope of images flash through the brain. A long and lanky Ambrose Kemper nimbly high-stepping his way through the park in the movie Hello, Dolly! An elegant and energetic gentleman in top hat, white tie and tails leading a statuesque Twiggy and company in the exuberant "Kickin' the Clouds Away" from My One and Only. The precisely synchronized clapping and tapping of "Favorite Son" and the trick lariat dancing of "Give a Man Enough Rope" from The Will Rogers Follies. Michael Jeter and Brent Barrett immortalizing "We'll Take a Glass Together" on the Tony Awards telecast with their show-stopping Charleston from Grand Hotel.

These and countless other iconic memories serve as artistic milestones in the luminous 50-year career of performer/director/choreographer and Theatre Hall of Fame member Tommy Tune. With nine Tony Awards, eight Drama Desk Awards, two Obie Awards, two Astaire Awards, the American Dance Award, the Drama League Award, the George Abbott Award for Lifetime Achievement, the National Medal of Arts, and the upcoming Fred and Adele Astaire Lifetime Achievement Award and Actor's Fund Julie Harris Award for Lifetime Achievement, Tune is the most honored star in Broadway history."
