It did okay.
But if you grew up in the New York area, they would play commercials for Broadway shows on local TV all the time.
And that was my first exposure.
This is like decades before the internet, obviously.
And I saw commercials for Starlight Express.
And it was this big spectacle and they were all on roller skates.
All the dancers were on roller skates, which was like a really high-tech thing at the time.
And we went to see Starlight Express, and we sat up in the balcony, but they had reconfigured the theater so that during the bows, the dancers and the ensemble could roller skate up to the mezzanine and kind of be close to the audience.
And I'm literally this kid.
And I had begged my parents for tickets based on the commercials.
And then this one dancer in the ensemble, I always think about this guy.
It was a man.
I don't know who he was.
He wasn't the star of the show.
He came up to me right in front of me, and he's on roller skates, and I'm just mesmerized by everything happening.
And he came up to me, and he looked me in the eyes.
And he like waved at me like this, but it wasn't like a generic like wave, like he was over it and just wanted to get out of there.
Like he looked at, he must've seen a kid, like a young gay boy who was like dazzled by this musical.
And he like looked at me and like really waved at me like, hi, like I see you.
And that wave changed my whole fucking life.
