Seeing stars

Yesterday I was on a flight from Atlanta to Houston. While getting on the plane, I noticed a rather flamboyant gentleman sitting in first class. I immediately wondered if he was a stage performer. While waiting for the boarding line to move up the aisle, I witnessed the guy in front of this man babbling excitedly at him about someone he knew who got him his first job on Broadway. Gears...turning... It suddenly occured to me that the man must be actor, native Texan, and tall guy Tommy Tune, who is starring in a production of Dr. Dolittle in Houston starting tomorrow. Having graduated from Lamar High School in Houston, Mr. Tune was happy to lend his name to the Tommy Tune Awards for high school musical theater productions in the Houston area.
