Circus Memories 1995- New York City

These are some of the photos we took while the circus was playing at the Madison Square Garden. Pammy and I got to catch some of the sights. The photo above of Pammy was taken outside Macy's, which always put on a beautiful display of flowers in the spring.

During that time, Jerry Lewis was making his Broadway debut in the revival of "Damn Yankees" as the Devil. He invited clown alley backstage to hang out. He was very nice and even reserved a section of front row seats for all the circus performers, staff and crew to catch the show. It was a great show. At one point Jerry Lewis did this amazing cane routine that brought down the house.

The photo above is in his dressing room and was taken before the show. He spoke very little because he was resting his voice for the show. He kidded around with us and even let us take pictures with him. That's the whole alley about to take a group shot with Mr. Lewis who is of course seated in the front- center. I don't know where the noses came from but everybody wore them.

That's me outside the theater before the show. This was my first Broadway show so I was really looking forward to it. Actually, I'd seen a touring version of Cats when it played in San Antonio in the 80's but that doesn't count- definitely not.

Pictured above and below are performers warming up before they go on. I think they all did the Russian Pole which is pretty amazing to see across three rings. In the photo below to the right is Yosh Schulman in his sailor hat. That was a fun town to play in for a month but we spent so much money there we left there pretty tapped out. Fun in New York can be very fun indeed but very pricey!





Here's a bit of the show.
