Last night was opening night of the 34th annual Best of Broadway; it was my 13th year. This is Kat Behry, the children's choreographer. She's in her 30s and has been doing the show since she was a teenager. Now her own daughter is in the show too.
At the party afterwards we talked about some of the recent alumni of B of B who are now working in New York: Jennifer Foote (who also went to UCI, Rachel's school) has done several Broadway shows and is now in the ensemble of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels; Kevin Ankele, formerly our sound guy, is doing pyrotechnics and electrics for the Phantom tour; Geoff something, a former stage manager of B of B, is stage managing shows in New York(currently Lestat); Becky Riker, a B of B and then a Kings dancer, went to New York just this year and has already done an Off-Broadway show and will be on a Christmas tour of the Midwest; Jewel Owens is not dancing any more but is house manager of a Broadway theater (Gershwin?).
