30 Days of NYMF: A Show Dances Off The Page
Posted by on 6:54 pm Sep 26th, 2007
From BroadwayWorld.com A SHOW DANCES OFF THE PAGE by Jeff Hochhauser (book and co-lyricist of Mud Donahue & Son) The show was born in a junk store in Greenport, NY. This junk store had a huge collection of very moldy books selling for a buck a piece. While I was happily gathering copies of almost every play Maurice Maeterlink ever wrote, my long time 'euphemism' Howard Hamm interrupted me with a thin, watermarked blue volume. He had an ingenuous look on his face that I've seen a whole bunch of times. He knew I was going to jump out of my skin! He was right. "Letters of a Hoofer to His Ma" by Jack Donahue.
