So, this was a great, fun production that Kris directed in the summer
of 2004 in Florida. The Broward Stage produced
it, and we had a young cast brought up from NYC. A real classic, My
One and Only was a Tommy Tune and Twiggy vehicle that
opened on Broadway in the 80's, and isn't often produced, due to the
challenging demands it places on its cast (and, well, the book is
a pretty weak, too).
The staging intention with this was just to create something that
was fast and fun and really enjoyable for the cast and audience. Everyone
loves tap, and this is a real showcase for soime incredible talents.

cooin' and singing - the staging is a real highlight ... fabulous
and seductively cool one minute, a toe-tapping fury the next."
