On January 6th my students returned to UCLA and we began work on this 6th Cavalcade of American Popular Music. Dr. David Morton had already done an incredible job finding and arranging our tunes; the ever-affable and creative Stuart Carey started our dances including the new ballet Triangle. Edythe Johnson and Robert Deman began pulling props and costumes together and stage crew and lighting designer went feverish with work. I began to play producer/director and in two weeks we pulled together the entertainment you now see as Salute to Broadway. Musical Theater is definitely a collaborative artform and without the combined talents of the cast, crew, and staff our whirlwind production would just be hot air. So, along with our Salute to Broadway, let me salute those talents that made these few weeks a true collaboration (and a lot of fun).
