Tommy Tune is an award-winning American actor, dancer, singer, director, producer, and choreographer.

In 1965, Tune made his Broadway debut as a performer in the musical “Baker Street.” His first Broadway directing and choreography credits were for the original production of “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” in 1978. Off-Broadway, Tune has directed “The Club” and “Cloud Nine.” Tune toured the United States in the Sherman Brothers musical “Busker Alley” in 1994-1995 and in the stage adaptation of the film “Dr. Doolittle” in 2006.

Tune’s film credits include “Hello, Dolly!” and “The Boy Friend.” Tune is the only individual to win Tony Awards in the same categories (Best Choreography and Best Direction of a Musical) in consecutive years (1990 and 1991), and the first to win in four different categories. In 1997, Tune published “Footnotes,” a memoir. In 2003, Tune was presented with the nation’s highest honor for artistic achievement, the National Medal of Arts.
