Tommy Tune and the Manhattan Rhythm KingsSteps in Time: A Broadway Biography in Song and Dance

First, some numbers: Over 50 years in show business. Nine Tony Awards. Eight Drama Desk Awards. Two Obie Awards. Five feet, 17 and a half inches of pure talent. It all adds up to the incomparable Tommy Tune.

Tune is an entertainment phenomenon who gives new meaning to the phrase “Gotta Dance!” In fact, he’s taken it a few “steps” further: Gotta Sing, Gotta Act, Gotta Choreograph, Gotta Direct. And gotta excel in all of them.

A true show biz veteran, Tune’s impressive resume features his work – both in front of and behind the curtain – on stage productions of “Seesaw,” “My One and Only,” “Grand Hotel,” “Nine,” “Follies” and “A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine.” His film credits include “Hello Dolly,” “The Boyfriend” and “Hollywood Blvd.”

Joined by the Manhattan Rhythm Kings, Tune takes us “step by step” back in time for a personal look at his incredible career. The show features timeless standards, elegant choreography and Tune’s unique warm-hearted, humorous reminiscences of his life in show business.

Don’t miss this rare chance to view the personal side of this quintessential song-and-dance man.
