Tommy Tune looks back over the past 50 years of his remarkable career with an original show, “Steps in Time: A Broadway Biography in Song and Dance.” His scintillating new musical debuts with back-to-back performances in the Music Center at Strathmore prior to a nationwide tour. He shares the stage with the Manhattan Rhythm Kings, his friends and frequent colleagues for the past two decades.

“We work well together because they love the old songs of the ’20s, ’30s, ’40s and ’50s like I do,” Tune says. “Their vocal sound makes a real good background for me. They play instruments and two of them tap dance, so we’re able to cover a lot of ground.”

It was a challenge, he admits, to condense 50 years of performing, directing and creating within a single show. The upshot is nonstop entertainment interspersed with stories, memories and exciting new material.
