Tommy Tune
Tommy Tune celebrates 50 years in show business with his acclaimed new show, Steps in Time which he is performing throughout the country. One of the theater’s most legendary and visionary citizens, Tommy Tune has received an unprecedented nine Tony Awards in four different categories, as well as eight Drama Desk Awards, two Obie Awards, two Astaire Awards, the American Dance Award, the Drama League Award, the George Abbott Award for Lifetime Achievement, and The National Medal of Arts, the nations' highest honor for Artistic Achievement. He began his career as a performer in 1965 in Baker Street, soon broke out of the chorus and a few years later garnered his first Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in Michael Bennett's Seesaw. His star turn in My One And Only garnered him the 1983 Tony for Best Actor in a Musical. Tune’s awards-filled career on the other side of the footlights, as a director and choreographer both on and off Broadway, has made him responsible for some of the most original musicals in history: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine; Nine; Grand Hotel, The Musical; My One And Only and The Will Rogers Follies.
