How an unusual venue and nontraditional stage made Gower Champion's brilliant choreography soar to new heights.

What a nice read!  I found the story about the troops very touching.  How adorable that even though they wanted to hoot and holler during Act One, they remained quiet and respectful.

Fun story. Though I was wondering if "The Waiters' Gallup" was a division of the polling and business analytics firm dealing with restaurants. Alas, I believe the author means "The Waiters' Gallop".

Thanks. Yes, it was astounding how servile-like they were in obeying their commander's orders.
