Words: Jim Piazza
Born Thomas James Tune, Tommy first introduced "New York At Christmas" to the stage in his off-Broadway review, White Tie and Tails, at The Little Schubert Theater on West 42nd Street, NYC.
Tommy has sung and danced for three U.S. Presidents, Queen Elizabeth II, The Royal Family of Monaco. In 1991, Gwen Verdon inducted him into Broadway's Theatre Hall of Fame, and Hollywood soon followed suit when three years later he was honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame appropriately placed directly in front of the Capezio Dancewear shop. He is both colleague and friend to luminaries worldwide: Twiggy / The Boy Friend / Nine, Liliane Montevecchi / Nine, Lucie Arnaz, Peggy Lee, Lillian Gish, Mary Martin, Morgana King, Howard Keel, Betty Hutton, Edward Everett Horton, Gregory Hines, Perry Como, Martha Raye, Jaye P.

The President of The United States presented Tommy with The National Medal of Arts in November 2003. He added this honor to his already unprecedented nine Tony Awards in four different categories plus, eight Drama Desk Awards, two Obie Awards, two (Fred) Astaire Awards, the American Dance Award, the Drama League Award, and the George Abbott Award for Lifetime Achievement... and they keep coming!
In 1965 Tommy first danced on Broadway in the chorus of "Baker Street". In 1967 he was in A "Joyful Noise" and 1968, "How Now Dow Jones". Five years and countless raves later Tommy received his first Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in Michael Bennett's, "Seesaw".
Tune's directing debut was the Off-Broadway hit, "The Club", in 1976. Back on Broadway, but this time as choreographer and co-director Tune gave us "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" followed by "A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine", for which he won his second Tony Award, this time for Best Choreography.
Tommy returned to Off-Broadway in 1981 to direct the highly controversial production of Carol Churchill's "Cloud 9". The next year Tommy brought us "Nine", The Musical for which he won his third Tony, his first for directing a Broadway Musical. A double Tony Award win followed for Tommy as Best Actor in a Musical and Best Choreography for the Broadway hit "My One and Only" co-starring Twiggy. "Grand Hotel", The Musical followed with Tony wins for Best Choreography and Best Direction and the following year, Tommy did what no artist had done before when he won the same two prestigious honors back to back this time for, "The Will Rogers Follies".
Tommy has shied away from Hollywood moviemaking, appearing in only two films early in his career. Tommy played Ambrose Kemper in "Hello, Dolly" starring Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Louis Armstrong and directed by Gene Kelly. Tommy played "Tommy" in Ken Russell's "The Boy Friend" and starred with Twiggy.
In 1997 Tommy wrote, Footnotes, a memoir about his life in the theatre. The same year he recorded Slow Dancin', a CD compilation of his favorite romantic ballads. The end of the millennium was the beginning of a dream come when Tommy made his Las Vegas debut as the star of EFX, the ninety million dollar spectacular at the MGM Grand Hotel.
Tommy's latest production, Doctor Dolittle, toured the US in 2006. He resides in New York City and is currently preparing two original musicals for the near future. He spends the rest of his time painting
I first met Tommy through our mutual friend Michel Stuart in 1974. I went to his loft, "Giraffe House", to audition some new songs for him. Years later, Tommy chose to sing "New York at Christmas". My mother passed away a few days after his opening night at The Little Schubert. Tommy and his assistant, dear, dear Peter Glebo were kind enough to find me last minute seat whenever I called. The music to the intro would come up, it began to snow onstage, Tommy would begin to sing and I would cry, every time... I forgot to mention that
Tommy is 6' 6 1/2" tall, a really big guy! Tommy is a truly brilliant, sweet and very kind man.
I hope you enjoy the song,
Sincerely,
Richard Currier

German Resort Hosts G8 Summit - VOA Story Leaders of the world's leading industrial nations (G8) are arriving/have arrived at the German (More) Leaders of the world's leading industrial nations (G8) are arriving/have arrived at the German resort town Heiligendamm for their annual three-day summit. As the leaders gather, we take a look at the historic retreat on the Baltic Sea where the meetings are taking place.
Founded in 1793, Heiligendamm is the oldest sea spa in Germany.
Also known as the "White City by the Sea" for its classic white buildings lining the beach promenade, the Baltic resort was built as an elegant summer getaway for nobility and high society.
German Kaisers were regular guests of the bathing resort.
After the Second World War the area became part of East Germany. Under communist rule, the refined tradition of luxury vanished. Some of Heiligendamm's famous buildings were demolished. The others were unattended for years, or were converted to utilitarian structures.
After the German unification in 1990, restoration of their old glory began. Today's Heiligendamm represents a synergy of history and modernity. The latest technology is coupled with the grandeur of the past.
Tourism is booming on the German coastal area. Unlike the North Sea, the Baltic is a calm body of water that has seen a tenfold increase in the number of tourists over the last 15 years.
A narrow-gauge steam railway, known as Molli, has been connecting Heiligendamm to nearby towns since 1886. Locals boast that one can set his watch by this train: they say over its 120 years of operation, Molli has always left on time for its 12 kilometer run. The original size tickets -- not much bigger than a postage stamp -- are sold by a man in an old fashioned uniform who sits at the 19th century wooden sales counter.
President George Bush stayed at Heiligendamm during last year's state visit to Germany.
Tuesday Mr. Bush was the first foreign leader to arrive to the G8 summit.
More demonstrations are underway throughout the area, as anti-globalists vow to push their way towards the site of the G8 summit. Police have sealed off the area by a 12 kilometer long steel fence around Heiligendamm.
President Bush met Wednesday with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel for a working lunch. Ms. Merkel greeted all G-8 heads of state and governments Wednesday night at a nearby 18th century Hohen Luckow estate. (Less)
