Michael Gruber in the 14th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition for Broadway Care/Equity Fights Aids

The following excerpt is from Playbill Online about the cast's skit:
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that "Sing, Sing, Sing", according to the cast members of the Broadway dance revue Swing!. While they parodied the movements of Fosse and Contact to the popular, oft-appearing Broadway song, they were quick to note that while "our show may be hokey/at least we ain't a karaoke."


Screen captures from their performance.

Kim and I bid on, and won, a pair of shoes signed by the performer of our choice.
Of course we chose Michael's shoes.
