MOVIE: BROOKLYN CASTLE<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This movie is about young people. It is all about having little money and extracurricular activities that are essential to a teaching principal called \u201cthe whole child.\u201d One way to open the door is to come up with a program like a chess team. For kids, chess is more than a game \u2013 it is where they can transcend from reality and become kings and queens themselves. Learning Chess makes dreams come true for children that don\u2019t have a lot of money. They are determined to master the world\u2019s most difficult game. If they can manage that \u2013 imagine what other mountains they can climb. The movie is Directed and produced by Katie Dellamaggiore in her feature film directorial debut. It\u2019s a little repetious \u2013 but keeps you in your seat.<\/div>\n

MUSIC: IT\u2019S ALWAYS GOING ON<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
HE WON NINE TONY AWARDS. He is a World Famous performer, choreographer and director and his name is TOMMY TUNE<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He bursts onto the Venetian Room stage in the Gorgeous Fairmont Hotel. There he is, in a hot Red Suit with longish hair. He grins at the audience and sez: \u201cI\u2019m leaving Texas!\u201d Tune knows all the great music. God knows he sang most of them around the world. Tune asked his friend Carol Burnett one day, how she became a big star. She said: \u201cI had to become a star \u2013 I wasn\u2019t good enough for the Chorus!\u201d Tune is 6\u2019foot 8 \u2013 and when he climbs a ladder (which he did on the stage) it made him look like a giant. In the audience was Carol Channing \u2013 and that gave even more excitement to the night. Imagine \u2013 two famous people close enough for you to touch. One woman was enjoying the evening sitting in her chair as she knitted a sweater and listened to the tap dancing, which is famously fantastic. I\u2019ve never been able to knit and watch a show. But Tune did say: \u201cPhyllis Diller could drink me under the table.\u201d The evening music was magical. I especially liked his brilliant taps and this lyric: – \u201cEvery time I Die a Little!\u201d Yep \u2013 Tommy Tune is a smart, wise talent that can Dance, Tap, Act and his singing will blow you away. It was a glittering evening.<\/div>\n
