For nine years (1974 to 1983), I acted in thirty plays or musicals in community theater and dinner theater in the Tampa Bay, Florida region.
Fantasticks is a 1960 musical. It tells an allegorical story concerning two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa, and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud.
The show's original off-Broadway production ran a total of 42 years (until 2002) and 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running musical.
I played Hucklebee (the boy's father) and with the girl's father, (Bellomy), we sang Never Say No and Plant a Radish.
The Pajama Game is a musical which focuses on a garment worker's union in Iowa, negotiating a raise for its members at the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory. Originally set in 1954, The Pajama Game has several favorite songs like Hernando's Hideaway and Steam Heat.
I was featured as "Prez" the head of the union.
