Ali Gordon, I want to be like you when I grow up.

History making theater

So, I had a weekend filled with theater and I thought I would share it with you. It started out on Thursday night when my good friend Randi invited me to the opening night of HAIR. If you haven’t seen it, RUN to get tickets. I thought it was wonderful, magical and divine. It was a great story about a distinct group of people that ended in the stars. It was simply what good theater should be! Speaking of ending, just as the cast started the final song of “let the sunshine in,” it began to rain. I was looking everywhere for the hoses because the effect was unbelievable and right on cue. Well, we quickly learned it was not part of the show as the bottom of the sky dropped and dumped cold wet rain over all of us. That did stop us from dancing the night away! This was New York at its best and its times like these that I’m reminded that I do live in the greatest city in America. LET THE SUN SHINE IN!

On Friday night, I went to see my good friend Adam Perry, who was brilliant, in A Chorus Line. I was reminded of how brilliant that show is and well it is constructed. Michael Bennett was a GENIOUS!!!

Here’s Donna McKechine on the cover of Newsweek circa 1979. AMAZING!!



Simply the best!



Looking at the line reminded me of when I was in CATS we did a parody of ACL. Thought you might enjoy.




On Saturday night I went to Hubbard Street Dance Company. Again RUN! It was the best dance I’ve seen in a while. The girl in the video is my dear friend Helen Rust who is visiting form London and Randi Kliner is working the camera.


AMAZING!!!!!

OUT TONIGHT!

Here is OUT TONIGHT from the 2008 production of RENT at Stagedoor manor. I loved directing this show. My cast was fantastic across the board. I will try and post more stuff from the show as I get it. This was the first thing that I got so its the first thing going up

You have to at least watch up to :50 for the back bend. I think Taylor gives Daphne a little run for her money.



And then there's this option. NOT FROM MY PRODUCTION!



SPECIAL THANKS to Ali gordon who found this video. Thanks Ali!
