Terry Fator and Forever Tango

I was looking over my blog and realized I had completely forgotten to write about a few shows we had last month. One of our first shows in December was Terry Fator. If you don't know who he is, he was the ventriloquist that won the first season of Americas Got Talent. (I personally didn't watch the show and only knew of him by word of mouth) He was great. Super, super nice guy. He gave Lucy and I signed turtle puppets. His production team and promoter were not. I will leave it there. Incidentally we were the first, as well as the last stop on his tour. He just signed a multi million dollar 5 year contract in Vegas. We wish him the best of luck!


Also, the first few days of October brought us our first "broadway" series shows. Forever Tango tells a story through different variations of the tango. Many of the staff, performers and orchestra didn't speak English. The crew consisted of 3 guys, all of them were incredibly sweet guys as were a few of the dancers. The rest kept to themselves. I have to post this picture because of this ladies hair. Her, as well as most of the male dancers all had their hair greased up. It was gross. It was petroleum jelly. ICKY! At one point before she went out on stage she was messing with her hair and then proceeded to WIPE it on our black curtains. BLEH!!!


This guy was the band leader. He played an accordion type instrument. He rocked it! He had several solo... He was like the Eddie Van Halen of the accordion, seriously!!
