Just love the work Tommy Tune directed for Broadway in the past.  He knows how to "love a show into being".     Why is this adorable, talented and centered director not directing much anymore?   Perhaps it is his choice.   I can just imagine the beauty he would have brought to some of our current revivals.

I would imagine the fact that he is 79 years old would factor into it.

I know about thirteen years ago, he was touring in Seussical or something like that. Tune has been a big proponent of touring and thinks more big Broadway "stars" should tour and see the rest of the country. It was a philosophy he adopted from Carol Channing.
