25 year old Michael Bennett:
had his first Broadway hit as a
choreographer with “Promises, Promises,”
a musical version of the Oscar-winning
film, “The Apartment.”
This “office Christmas party” number --
led by Bennett muse, Donna McKechnie
-- will leave you as breathless as the
dancers.
Joe saw it back when it opened and it was
the fastest he had ever seen anyone dance:
Some of you are familiar with Warren
Wright’s “dollmation” videos that he posts
on youtube.com under the name Warrencito
(and if you’re not, you need to be!).
He’s created dozens of videos using Barbie
and family dolls, many of them recreating
famous dances or musical numbers.
About a year ago, Warren dollmationed
“Turkey Lurkey Time.”
One of the pages online devoted to
Broadway featured the video with a link to
it.
Within 24 hours, Donna McKechnie was
swamped with emails, phone calls, and
texts from her many friends telling her
she HAD to watch it.
She did. She was charmed. And
she wrote Warren a lovely thank you note.
And here are the charming items from our
website we're featuring today:
